For some, there are no exact requirements. You know when most users ask for "something like software X" they actually mean "exactly ike software X, I don't want to change anything". So, when Openoffice doesn't look and feel like MSOffice, users complain. Of course, Openoffice could be exactly like MSOffice, but then it'd get slammed by look-and-feel lawsuits. Damned if you do, damned if you don't.

- As we are very much new to Linux environment, the linux flavour which we will choose should also have good online support available where we can ask our questions and get the results quickly.
Hmm, you may want Redhat if you want paid support. Then again, Debian has plenty of online help, and users who use it.

Hardware Software 15 Machines MS Excel C.P.U. - 200 to 300 Mhz Tally RAM ? 32 to 64 MB MS Access HDD ? 10 to 40 GB Developed Programs in Visual Basic Stand Alone Systems and No Server
Screw the hardware. Excel => Openoffice (see above), Tally => avsap?, Access => MySQL with phpmyadmin, Developed programs in VB => ? eh? your VB programs *might* work with Wine.

I don't know what Pagemaker does. Instead of listing software, why not present your real requirements? As we say, "what is the problem you're trying to solve?"
Devanagri fonts are available on Linux.
You can use Gimp instead of Photoshop.
Please reply
