"10 desktop computers using Ubuntu Linux were distributed to VCOs in the
East of England Region for testing and evaluation."

"A range of suitable FOSS programs were included:
Open Office - FOSS equivalent to Microsoft Office
Evolution - FOSS equivalent to Microsoft Outlook
Firefox - FOSS equivalent to Internet Explorer
Scribus – Desktop publishing
Project Planner - Project management
GnuCash – Finance"

"Feedback from actual users was generally very positive regarding use of
the software. They found it intuitive and, with only occasional
difficulties, quickly adapted to its use. Many of them seemed very
surprised at this and at the range of good quality free software
available. They had clearly been influenced to believe this would not be
the case, but soon overcome any such prejudices.
Resistance to more general use of the software was however much stronger
at managerial and decision making level. "
