It has been a while.

I tried getting our nonprofit (Worcester land conservation) to adopt Linux some years back.
Problem I had back then was weak graphic options, publisher options, Quicken options, and a lack of a good answer to running ArcGIS.
I was beaten back into M$.

I want another crack at this.

I am looking to take a spare laptop and install a Linux OS and OS apps.
Previously, some years back, I used to use what are now Mandriva Linux installs.

Coming back to this I see that there are dozens and dozens of options these days.

What, if any, of the options do the WLUG folk prefer/recommend.

Thanks so much,

Colin
