//that is a short turn, i would remove advanced and go for "one of the 
most.." and " user friendly", mention it's all Free Software (a major 
selling(sic) point towards managers)
don't say it is without cost but certainly a lot cheaper, there are 
people needed to keep it running. Tell that they will be investing in 
people and local economy in stead of overseas multi nationals.

//Networking is never that simple (certainly in a M$ network), I would 
point out what is possible with Samba, LAMP, Intranet, Mail, DB 
Server(mysql or ... in combination with Open Office or scripting), DHCP,

could be a dissapointment

//Don't forget to mention Open Office Base and the possibility to 
connect to a mysql or other db server. A good Acces replacement. 
(important for bussiness)
and how easy it is to acces a database with php, perl, python and other 
FREE tools.
