<EM>This HOWTO is dedicated to all the (soon to be former?) DOS and Windows
|
|
users who have decided to switch to Linux, the free UNIX clone. The purpose
|
|
of this document is to help the reader translate his or her knowledge of DOS
|
|
and Windows into the Linux environment, as well as providing hints on
|
|
exchanging files and resources between the two OSes.</EM>
