Amorette Pedersen, Vice President at Syngress Publishing said,
      "Every day, system administrators are making the decision to migrate from Windows to Linux and open source software. We wanted to create a book that would make that migration process seamless. The 'Windows to Linux Migration Toolkit' shows system administrators how to deliver reliable and secure network services using Linux."

David Allen, President of CR Consulting, adds,
      "I wrote 'Windows to Linux Migration Toolkit' in response to repeated questions from attendees at LinuxWorld asking me to write a book to help them migrate to Linux. The book provides easy-to-follow instructions and includes migration scripts to automate the process of migrating Windows NT/2000/AD/Exchange infrastructure to Linux and open source software. The information in this book will help ensure a smooth migration to reliable systems that deliver outstanding value and increased productivity to any company."
