What doesn't linux/BSD provide for the average business? Certainly most office workers survive on word (open|star|k office), speadsheets (open|star|k office)and email (evolution. sylpheed, mozilla, etc)
Of course you get into accounting apps, and a few other bits and the problems are more difficult. If I was starting my legal business again today I would be usisng linux or BSD with openoffice, probably evolution as a mail client. I think I could get most of what i do done with that. Other peoples mileage will vary. But if something with as many diverse functions as a local government authority can operate under linux, so should most businesses be able to. Now I'm not a bigot here, and I'm always ready to listen to other points of view, so lets hear what is "most missed' from linux from you/your customer's point of view??
