Exit Strategy 3: A message from the Other Side

After spending a good 3 1/2 hours downloading, I finally got all of the packages onto the computer. I started unpackaging and promptly proceeded to run out of memory. After a harrowing, hour-long partitioning session involving 2 partitioning utilities, 3 failed copy attempts, 2 resizes and one slide, I finally managed to get everything in its proper place.

And worth every minute of it - the system is substantially faster than windows.

I still have a bunch of issues to resolve, but I can already see that this is going to be a long-term switch. Muahahahaha…
