No problems, Just suggest to the client that it might relieve some of problems they're experiencing and will save them money too. If you (or anyone else) is interested in running or playing with linux, I'll put a few links up on my site. Here in Bristol my entire home network is running linux including a wireless network, print/file server, DB Server and webserver and it works fantastically. Remember that linux will dual-boot with windows quite happily and mandriva/redhat/etc. will automatically set it up, so if they want to play with linux, then they can maintain the current set up to ease them into the fantastic world of open source.
