I have a question for the entire list.  If you had some windows legacy
applications, but most of the enterprise is database related, which 
distro of Linux would you recommend??  How stable is wine now?  Can it 
be trusted for most simple win applications.  I have already switched 
70% of the desktops to open office, and would love to trash most of the 
os's also.  I am open to all suggestions.  My solution would probably 
need to co-exist with windows as I phase it out.  Also most of the 
machines delivered are delivered with Microsoft os's.  Right now I have 
suggested that they take no deliveries of VISTA.  I have wavered between 
Mandrake or Ubuntu.  Both are very friendly and can quickly made to 
support applications with MySQL  Using Java/PHP on the server.
