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.

  1. 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
