The question is - "How do we attract business users to the Linux platform?"

The answer is - Build a machine they can use everyday. Starting with a good platform such as NexRadix, we would add:

• OpenOffice
• Samba for file/printer sharing
• Palm Desktop (or other PDA)
• Quickbooks or Peachtree
• Firefox
• PDF Viewer
• E-mail client, possibly with exchange connector

Other accounting options:

• Quasar Accounting from linuxcanada.com (Overview can be found at: http://www.linuxcanada.com/quasar.shtml)
• OpenMFG (ERP) and PostBooks from xtuple.org (Demo videos can be found at: http://www.xtuple.com/demo/video)
