As proponents of OpenSource software we need to provide solutions to our clients that meet the basic mandates of their own business. I may start a blog or some such thing to try and clarify some of those challenges but there are a few, common pieces that EVERY small business should have

  1. File server
  2. Accounts
  3. Word processor
  4. Spreadsheet
  5. Presentation
  6. Project management
  7. Mind mapping

And as such we have faq builds for our customers software/downloads (you are welcome to use these but note that support is limited to our customers).
