So no, for the general public, I'd suggest an Ubuntu Linux. The days of
Gnu/Linux being for the experience people are long gone.
The only place where I wouldn't suggest Linux is if the users (or admins!)
have a prior experience of Windows and cannot change / do not want to
change.

It's a reasonable idea for you, and maybe for me,<br>
but the machines are going to the general public.<br>
It they were sophisticated enough to want Linux (et al),<br>
they'd probably be happy enough to purchase the<br>
machines "sans" OS ;-)<br>
<br>
However, most of our customers are ready for MacOS<br>
or (gasp) some flavor of Windows...and nothing more.<br>
<br>
We actually do have Linux machines running -- including<br>
one Mac G4 tower -- for those who are interested!<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>
