Neither of the 3 should give any problem, unless you have users who come with Office 2007 files. Oo.org can't open them.
And ask them to save the files in MS Office format instead of native format unless it's being shared within the 3 PC's only.
I don't agree
OO can open *.Docx as well because microsoft is pushing open XML a international standard, so it has open it put
you just need to install a convertor given by novell

Guys. I'm going to switch three PCs from the office to Ubuntu. Windows is giving just far too many problems. I just hope Ubuntu works like the Mac, plug and play. I've read reviews and Gutsy Gibbon seems to be just about gutsy enough. PC1 is going down....
[These PCs are going to use just about Firefox, OpenOffice, and moving files via thumb drives. Possible without any configuration na?]
one advantage linux will give is that your employes will not be able to play songs and movies at work
also give them a limited account, and keep the password with you
for normal day to day operations password is not needed
for basic config try this:-
EasyUbuntu is an easy to use (duh!) script that gives the Ubuntu user the most commonly requested apps, codecs, and tweaks that are not found in the base distribution - all with a few clicks of your mouse.
EasyUbuntu is so easy to use in fact, that even your grandma could be playing encrypted dvds, streaming Windows Media, and sporting the latest Nvidia or Ati drivers in minutes! And yes, EasyUbuntu is GPL.
