With the release of Microsoft's new Windows operating system (Vista), more and more people are looking for alternatives to Windows for various reasons. This tutorial is the first of a series of articles where I will show people who are willing to switch to Linux how they can set up a Linux desktop (Fedora Core 6 in this article) that fully replaces their Windows desktop, i.e. that has all software that people need to do the things they do on their Windows desktops. The advantages are clear: you get a secure system without DRM restrictions, and the best thing is: all software comes free of charge.

I want to say first that this is not the only way of setting up such a system. There are many ways of achieving this goal but this is the way I take. I do not issue any guarantee that this will work for you!

Here is how... (Very detailed with screenshots).

Nice one! Is it available for other distros also?

Thanks Subratabera.

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to subratabera again.

Aah it's howtoforge surely there's a lot more on many distros and settings here. Search for howtoforge in this section. I am sure it has been posted a couple of times here but not for FC, AFAICR. It's a great site to keep in your bookmarks.

That's the message he's getting while trying to rep you. He needs to rep 4 other people after repping you again. But he's not done so yet.
