But I can only repeat the arguments of Anders that you either don't get or don't want to get: Windows XP is a bare OS that you have to spend a lot of money on in buying extra programs to get anything done at all. Plus that you have to upgrade the software every other year and no, that's not for free. In an office environment that upgrade is almost compulsory. Never ever in my whole life I would advise a customer Gentoo, because if he could handle that he wouldn't have come to me for advice in the first place. If you want Suse for free, get Opensuse and not SLED. The extra support you get comes at a price. 50 E a year is peanuts for a company. In other words, you're comparing apples with oranges.
