Going over to the other side

Well finally trying to do it move from Windows to Linux, have created a Linux box running ubuntu. So it will be interesting to see how I go, don't know a whole lot about Linux so doing this as a novice user of linux. How easy or hard is it for a windows user (for years) to make the move to linux. At the moment have two boxes running Win XP on one and ubuntu on the other.

Will admit I'm more comfortable using Windows, most likely because I 've been doing it for the last 30 years or more, so no time like the present to learn something new. So with my son's words of encouragement in my ear " I ain't going to do it for you" I'm on a new learning experience.

Main reason I've never bothered to change was the fact I use Dreamweaver and Photoshop alot for web design stuff, and because neither of those run under linux I figure why change. According to my son its possable to do that, (run photoshop & dreamweaver on linux). The challenge now it to do that.
