should be user friendly and GUI based. 6. Also those softwares should be tried, tested and stable so as we would not face any problem in future.

for ppl used to windoze, the best alternative is mandrake10.1. Mandrake also has the best support for indic computing of all linux distros. For dtp - the gimp + inkscape + scribus is recommended. In place of excel - open office calc. access can be replaced by postgresql with pgadmin or phppgadmin as a front end. Also can be accessed with open office calc through odbc. Tally could be upgraded to a customised version of avsap. Thin clients are available in droves in linux - so not a problem
