I set up a successful NGO see my signature we use Ubuntu exclusively. Our volunteers are very happy using Evolution, Firefox and Open Office.

We do have support. NO2ID maintain our web site and have loads of LInux experience.

Bigken on these forums sorts out any hard ware issues. We met through the forums. He lives very near to us.

I find it easier to maintain than Windows we never have issues at all.

We have not used Windows for 3 years now.

I wonder if Xink (the Belgian Punk/Rock band)use Ubuntu? It would be cool if they did. I wrote into the Consumer Association Which? Magazine as they seem to be pushing Microsoft a lot, and suggested they use Ubuntu and report on it. They wrote back and were very nice how they worded it - but said that Ubuntu was not in the same league as Microsoft - I'm thinking of killing my sub with them since that sounds more like Microsoft has more interest in them - from a marketing point of view?
