Probably the subject line.

Anyhow, Hello, I'm new here also, and new to the Linux world also. I've been using Linux for about a year for home use. I've used Kubuntu 11.04, Ubuntu 11.04, and Linux Mint 11. Mint 11 is what I'm currently using. Ubuntu is fairly easy to learn, Mint is based on Ubuntu and is even easier to learn. However, it IS a whole new world (to borrow from Disney lol) You can get the hang of it in a few days, but you'll be learning for a long time to come, if that makes sense.

What is your situation? Why are you making the switch?
