We have a small computer lab with 5 Macs and 5 PCs. The Macs are generally
free of major support hassles but the PCs have brought us close to
homicide. 

We would like to blow away Windoze and install linux, but we need to make
the machines unthreatening enough for our users to keep using them. We have
some ideas about how to set up linux and X to make it close to M$ Win-like
(we don't want to scare the punters) but we would be grateful for any
suggestions or stories of similar experiences.

We also need an "Office Suite" to replace M$ Office. We have had a quick
look at Redhats Applixware and StarOffice. We are also aware of Wordperfect
for Java and  WordPerfect for Linux but they don't seem to be quite what we
want for the moment. Are there any other alternatives worth exploring?
