Top 5 Linux Migration Tips For Small Offices
When most people think of switching out their office to one Linux distribution or another, the very idea of getting started with the needed migration must seem completely overwhelming. Not because using Linux is difficult -- rather, the task at hand with getting personnel and equipment up to the challenge is daunting.
To respond to this challenge, I have arranged my top tips in such a manner as to make the transition for an experienced Linux user helping inexperienced users in the migration process as painless as possible.
Tip # 1 -- Overcoming installation issues
So what is the hang-up with getting the average SOHO (small office, home office) off to a good start with a fairly straightforward Linux migration? In most cases, it starts with PCs that, for whatever reason, will not work with the installation CD for the selected Linux distro. This can mean that the "made for Windows" desktop/laptop is just not going to be an option with the Linux distribution being installed. In some cases, simply trying a different distribution can solve the install problems.
Desktop PCs generally do not give any installation issues. Notebooks, on the other hand, are often times going to provide problems with wireless, often sound, and in rare cases video usage.
