This is a very sticky wicket as everyone has their favorites and distros
they prefer...there is no right or wrong answer. Some are better at
certain jobs than others. Here's what I've gleaned from this list over
the years and after meeting some of the people:
Stan and Justin will tell you Suse is the best.
Greg M. is a Debian advocate.
Mike @ the Library loves *BSD.
Mike @ AIDEA prefers Redhat.
Rich digs Slack
etc.
There are more experienced people on the list than I that can help you
narrow it down a little. If you live in town, you could come out to one
of the Fri informal meetings and try out some of the distros on other
users machines.

The Open Office discussion was about trolling for an experienced user to
show off and run a demo at the IT Expo next month. I think you should
have your boss take a look-see at this one. :)
