I am looking at upgrading our Linux workstations at work. We run Redhat 7.0 right now, and would normally just upgrade to the latest Red Hat but now they charge $$ now for the OS, which used to be a free download. I am considering SUSE Linux as well. We use Linux as a technical desktop in an engineering firm, and I also use it to run application servers like Tomcat and other Java apps. Any recommendations?

SuSe is gonna charge you also. Personally, I use Xandros. Yes they charge for it, but it installs very easily and works great for people to are coming from Windows. I've never managed to be successful with SuSe and had only limited success with Mandrake. I also like the fact that Xandros is based upon Debian which has the best package management stuff around.
