We've deployed Mandrake 8.0 for our technical staff (the IS group), but we don't yet have any plans to use linux for our "normal" users. At this point just unzipping a file can still be too complicated for some, so at least sticking to something they use at home is helpful. Also I've had stability issues with nautalis on Red Hat 7.1 with Ximian, and on KDE with Mandrake 8.0. The users would need a fair amount of training to be able to deal with troubleshooting in the new enviornment...
