Hi,
One of my friend is in cargo business having 7 PCs.
He asked me to buy windows XP licenses for all 7 PCs.
His employees just check emails and work on office documents such as word, excel, powerpoint.
I told him that Linux can be used easily with few hours training for above mentioned things. I also explained the stability and cost effectiveness of it.
Now the question is, which distribution should we suggest? Which desktop environment? Which email client (closer to Outlook look and feel) ?
Please suggest.
