 | Red Hat Linux 8.0 Professional

 | OpenOffice.Org 1.0 Resource Kit by Solveig Haugland
Buy new: £31.91 / Used from: £19.94 One of the best things you can buy, period. OpenOffice CD AND really, really good instructions. Good for showing reluctant people how easy it is. Handles all MS Office files.

 | Using Samba by Jay Ts
Buy used from: £2.15 You can leave the workstations on Windows, and just administrate them on Linux with Samba instead of that incredibly expensive Windows server. Samba has more power and is more secure.

 | Windows 2000 Server 5 Client
Buy new: £290.00 / Used from: £199.00 Then kiss this overpriced overlicensed software goodbye. Keep in mind that without the huge overhead of Windows, you can buy much less expensive hardware and Linux runs faster on the same hardware.
|
 | Windows XP Home Edition
Buy used from: £60.00 No more Microsoft Windows. JLinux is easier to administrate too, once you get used to it. Easy backups.
|
 | Office XP Professional
And with Openoffice you don't need MS Office anymore. OpenOffice handles conversion and creating new MS Office files pretty well.
