Any tips or points for catching the attention of mostly IT 'dumb' ales staff ? I am thinking Beryl/Compiz, the mention of no spyware and viruses and the backing of big name companies like Dell, IBM and Novell.
Beryl/Compiz is of no use to sales persons. Find out quickly what sofware they are using and look around for some applications that they can use as alternatives if they were running under Ubuntu. Demo those. Open Office naturally comes to mind with presentations, word processing -> PDF and spreadsheets. If they use web absed apps show that these will run under Firefox.
Be fair and show the problems that can arise e.g. transfering complex Word docs back and forth.
