Conversion Tools: Operating Systems Migration
The goal of
this IBM Redbook
is to provide a technical planning reference for IT organizations large or
small that are now considering a migration to Linux-based personal computers.
For Linux, there is a tremendous amount of "how to" information available
online that addresses specific and very technical operating system
configuration issues, platform-specific installation methods, user interface
customizations, etc. This book includes some technical "how to" as well, but
the overall focus of the content in this book is to walk the reader through
some of the important considerations and planning issues you could encounter
during a migration project. Within the context of a pre-existing Microsoft
Windows-based environment, we attempt to present a more holistic, end-to-end
view of the technical challenges and methods necessary to complete a successful
migration to Linux-based clients.
