Hi all,
I have been commissioned to undertake a study into desktop viability and 'readiness' of a number of Linux distro's, Ubuntu being one of them. It's part of a wide scale project funded by the government and aimed at open source within the UK public sector, specifically Local Govt.
I have started work on a test plan looking at what features, both system-wise and interface/application-wise, that a desktop Linux OS needs to provide / achieve. I just thought I would put this message up on a few forums to attempt to really ask the questions I should be asking.
Please hit me with your ideas. This report will be released under Creative Commons when complete, so I aim to provide an authorititive viewpoint which is useful not only for the brief in-hand, but for the wider Linux desktop audience. If I can get some clearence, I'll post the work-in-progress up here.
Thanks in advance for your time.
