“This tutorial shows how you can set up a Debian
Squeeze desktop that is a full-fledged replacement for a Windows
desktop, i.e. that has all the software that people need to do the
things they do on their Windows desktops. The advantages are clear:
you get a secure system without DRM restrictions that works even on
old hardware, and the best thing is: all software comes free of
charge.“I want to say first that this is not the only way of setting up
such a system. There are many ways of achieving this goal but this
is the way I take. I do not issue any guarantee that this will work
for you!“1 Preliminary Note
“To fully replace a Windows desktop, I want the Debian Squeeze
desktop to have the following software installed: Graphics:* The GIMP – free software replacement for Adobe Photoshop
* F-Spot – full-featured personal photo management application for
the GNOME desktop
* Google Picasa – application for organizing and editing digital
photos”
