"My conversion to Linux hasn't been easy to say the least. From my childhood on I've been a user of Microsoft products which made me an addict. From the moment Linux came in the news I've been interested in trying it out. So I went out and bought myself a Redhat starter pack including all the software I needed. This happened about 13 years ago so I'm not completely sure about everything anymore, what I am sure about is that my first encounter didn't work out right.
