Linux Client Migration Cookbook, Version 2: A Practical Planning and Implementation Guide for Migrating to Desktop Linux by IBM Redbooks

This second version of the Linux Client Migration Cookbook builds on the content strategy we started with in the first version. Although anyone interested in using Linux on the desktop could benefit from different portions of this book, our primary audience for this book is existing business IT environments that need to begin an evaluation of desktop Linux, or in a broader sense any organization whose strategy is to move toward greater adoption of open source software and open standards.
Open source software is a hotbed of innovation. Because the source code of a product is available for inspection and modification, users have the opportunity to change and extend the open source products they use. Using the released version of a product as a foundation, open source developers can implement new functionality important to them and their organizations. Rather than being forced to live with the limitations of a product, open source users can improve it and make it better suited to their needs. They can even submit their code changes to the project managers for inclusion in the main code base of the product, ensuring that subsequent releases of the product will already include their changes, easing migration to newer versions of the product.
