I'm working with one of the Minneapolis city council members (and his
office manager) to demo free software. My argument is that that free
software can save on the IT budget and any money involved would be more
likely to stay local. (staff/consulting/support instead of licensing)

I would like some suggestions for how best to present this stuff. I figure
there is a different case for free software in the server room and on the
workstation. Since this will be on his personal computer I'd like to show
off something functional that will compare nicely to his pre-existing
Windows 2000 installation.

I assumed I would use some variety of Linux with a GUI desktop. Which
variety and GUI is probably where I could use the advice. If anyone has
any specific experience advocating for free software in government I'd
like to hear about it.
