Yeah, right - these are people who haven't figured out Windows yet, even though they've been using it at work for the last 10 years. Linux to them would be like Linux to a dog.

That is exactly why it won't matter what operating system they use at work. The typists will use anything.

However, the one thing they fear more than their own computers is a change of any kind in their own computers. If I were to sit down in front of a Sun workstation running SPARC or something, I could probably navigate around and get some things done, even though I've never used that OS before. A lifelong PC user from the reception pool may not know shit about Windows, but at least s/he is somewhat familiar with how a few things work. I tried to teach my dad how to navigate the Linux filesystem, and it was like trying to teach a dog how to read. He knows his way around the Windows filesystem (sorta), but only through 15 years of repitition. Point - secretaries would notice the difference, and be upset by it.

Why do secretaries need to know the filesystem for?
They only need two things: their applications and their home directory.
Hell, you can even make things easier by mounting the home directory as /home/mystuff for every workstation (instead of smb://172.16.49.9/homez/r.verdonk/filez/).
