Non-profit use - Ubuntu (Score 1)

I had a friend who had to set up a network at a local church using largely donated PC's. I gave him all 3 flavours of Ubuntu (MAC, PC, 64Bit) and he was able to get a pretty good system up and running in 2 days. (Granted, only about 15 PCs) The basic release of Unbuntu/Open Office has everything a church needs - web access, ability to print newletters, correspondence, ability to keep up with budgeting... And, as an added plus, chances of users downloading adware, viruses, and silly little apps/toolbars is very sharply reduced. Training was made easier by the fact that the staff, while familiar with Windows from home, was not used to doing things one way. A few brief training sessions with a short handout (explaining how to save doucuments in word/excel formats in the rare case that something needs sent outside the company) and all is running well. Saved the church lots of money on licenses, and provided a stable environment. I agree with the posters though who say a large, well-funded enterprise may be better off sticking with Windows.
