Changing my citizenship to Linux

I have been so desperate to move to Linux environment for quite sometime, just not becos many people say ITS GREAT, but becos i want to see whatz so great. By work I develop MS.NET applications and so have to stick to Windows series, as there is not much options available, but since I know PHP/JAVA, i preferred to have Linux at my home.

So i started to Digg on articles that contains the key word “Linux Vx Windows” “Ubuntu” “Fedora” and found that its very convincing, which has made me to download Linux OS. Iam going to install it over the weekend. But if the open source community can help me with some insights on how to configure my Network (it may sound dump, but i think it will be helpful) / internet / wireless keyboard/mouse etc., you can jst give me a pointer, ofcourse i can google them, but i would like the expert comments from the community. Thanks for your help in advance, i will keep posting my experience on Linux soon….and finally special thnx to Matthew Helmke – whose article was very helpful for me to seriously migrate to Linux.
