I wouldn't run a service like an ILS in a shared/general purpose
machine (worse if you plan to publish your OPAC on internet). That
said, you don't need a "migration to linux" to run koha. Just pick a
computer, get an Ubuntu Server 10.04 LTS (5 year support) iso and burn
it to a CD (or use some specific tool to make a USB dongle bootable),
follow the setup instructions, and then come back to the list for
further instructions. The Ubuntu server install is pretty
straight-forward. And let your XP boxes alone. Install Firefox or
Chrome on them to get a better experience.
