Switching to Fedora-Linux from windows and other *nix:
As i wrote above in my experience that my major work is on windows platform but in year 2001 i have developed my interest towards open source platform and i started my learning *nix , since then i shifted to different operating systems including redhat , freebsd , openbsd , ubuntu and finally i got break with Fedora Linux :) which is best flavor of linux among such a competition where u can see new operating systems every day . The best part of Fedora-Linux is a hassle free community support and free shipment of easy to use interface.
My Fedora Linux experience:

My future plan to promote Fedora - Linux:
