All, After being a freedom fighter for more then 3 years, today I am finding myself, again standing in front of the same age-old question which I had to confront during my days of initiation; *Distro*. But today it's not about me getting bored...it's about a small but important step whose ripples are far reaching.
Finally I managed to convince one of my managers to try Linux. She will probably start with a dual-boot setup. Now comes the time for the old questions. Which Distro to recommend. But this time the biggest criteria is compatibility. This is too huge a place to completely switch to Linux in a month or year. It will take time. So, I have to start with ONE. The rest of the progress completely depends on this ONE. So, the biggest challenge here is not to fight but to co-exist with Windows. So, below are some of the things that are done in the office in a regular office. ~Connect to Windows Terminal Server for remote operations ~Mail Exchanging (Mail server is MS Exchange) and all other clients are Outlook ~Intranet website has issues with Firefox(Well, honestly doesn't work on anything other then IE) ~Extensive work in Office Suite, full compatibility with MS Office is a high priority. And some more which I may not be able to recall right now. So, could you please recommend the best distro which is best for peaceful co-existence in a M$ dominated environment.
