You can either have command line (like DOS) or you can have a GUI (like Mac OS)
Some of the GUIs for Linux includes
fvwm2
kde
gnome
fvm95
For spreadsheets and Wordprocessing
Check out
www.applixware.com
www.sun.com (look for star office)
You can scan pictures (ideally) with this product can
xsane ( look for xsane in www.rpmfind.net)
Ideally, if you are still supporting Windows users you can always have a duel
partitoin where you have a Linux and Windows Partition
Hope it helps.
