Using the safe, stable, and sexy live CD:
Remember. Linux is not for everyone.

This is illegal. Do not do this in the US. Or, do it only for CD's that you totally own. Like, you are the artist formerly known as Prince and you are going to rip your own DVD off of your own DVD. That is probably not legal either.
So, for those of you tuning in from Bora Bora:
And remember,…
Photographer Scott Rowed has penned an excellent essay on his experience making the switch to Linux, and he's agreed to place it here as a guest post. Please read it and pass it on to people, school districts, small island nations, and others who may benefit. This is a repost from about two years…

Switching to Linux
by Scott Rowed…
Say…I think I know this guy:
That fellow on the right has made the move to Scienceblogs and is now
writing away at Neurophilosophy. Say howdy, everyone.
Hmmm…maybe we should also bring that fellow on the left into the stable, too.
Huge tracts of land?
She's not causing enough nerdjaculant, so she thought she'd throw in some Python?
That's just overachieving.
Great t-shirt. Monty Python FTW! Especially when used in the correct context!
ClamAV is great too. If you don't want to have to use the GUI interface, do this (assuming you already have clamav from the repository, which the live CD will probably have -- if you don't have it, "sudo apt-get install clamav" will install it):
sudo freshclam (to update to the newest signature)
Make sure your drive is mounted wherever it normally gets mounted.
sudo clamscan --infected --bell --move=/path/to/virus/vault -r /path/to/mounted/drive
The --infected makes it only print out when it finds an infected file. Omit it if you want to watch as it displays every single file on your drive. --bell makes it beep when it finds a virus. --move= sends all infected files to a specific folder (what I'm calling a "virus vault" here). -r recurses through all subfolders.
There are a lot more options than presented here. clamscan --help will list most of the relevant ones.
And she's way hotter than the Mac dude, too.
Viruses and stability is the main reason why I replace PC with MAC and honestly I'm very happy with this. I forget about viruses and constant blue screens. Life seems better right now.
