   If you had been running a business in 2003 and decided to intrioduce   
   all your staff to linux without grinding everything to a halt. How   
   wouold you do it?   
      
   My solution was to make the Linux desktop (of Mandrake as it was then)   
   to look like Windows 98 by using a collection of icons I had garnered   
   from several sources and then installed the Win4lin hypervisor. then   
   hosting Windows 98.   
      
   It went pretty well.
