How to Move From Windows XP to Ubuntu?

Posted by fkadriver on September 20th, 2007 Email This Post Email This Post

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

I am new to Ubuntu and was wondering if after I have all the files in Ubuntu that I want to import from windows if I can safely remove Windows completely.

I want all my music files (which I have) pictures (which I am working on) and Outlook Express address book and emails (still working on this).

It is nice to have Windows & Linux but I only need one operating system. Both systems are depleting my hard drive space.

Thanks.

    For my clients I migrate to Thunderbird from Outlook Express.

    Install Thunderbird, launch it and you will be prompted for import information. The first launch wizard will import Outlook Express settings/email/addresses automatically.

    You can use the same Profile folder within a Ubuntu version of Thunderbird.

    Also you can use office software for free. Go to http://www.openoffice.org, they are very similar to M$ office and able to open their formats to these programs. They are free by the way.

    ENJOY!

    Au revoir
