Not in my opinion. You might put this to a moderator if you think it violates the "doing your homework for you" rule. Personally, I was just answring the question and giving the benefit of my opinion and experience. Besides, after more than 30 days since the original question and almost 30 since the last post (not counting yours), I would consider it an abandoned question. Moderators? I leave it up to you.
With OpenSource sometimes people have hidden spyware so whenever you install the OS software it will start giving you problems. Everything else is pretty much mentioned by the experts above.

If you have a small organization with a fairly stable pool of staff personnel who are willing to bring themselves up to spped using open source applications, great! You can save yourself a lot of money. Otherwise, you, as the IT support person, may grow grey before your time and wish your company had stuck with mainstream apps.
