A kit of essential tools for users who want an easy and objective experience with Elementary OS - and other Ubuntu-based distros. Useful for those who are migrating from Windows to Elementary or want to migrate someone. :-)

(All software recommended here got a installation guide via Terminal through apt-get package manager, for objectivity. However, if you want, [most of them] are also available in Software Center.)
