I have Redhat 7 running on my Toshiba 4190XDVD that is my daily workstation for work and it is great.  I do all of my mail through webmail, so I don't use any of the Linux e-mail clients.  But I do have to use micro$oft for those apps there is no replacement for, Visio, Everquest, and Half-life. Star Office and Applixware both work just fine to replace micro$haft office.
