For new users you can use mandrake, my opinion is
windows users are most comfortable with mandrake
compared to other linux distros.
Debian is also a good option for office work, you can
use debian unstable for desktop, and it works
fantastically. Just use knoppix cd and install it to
harddisk by using knx2hd. Then install/uninstall
packages as you require.

If you plan to use LTSP and oracle together, be
carefull. You should calculate the bandwidth, memory
and CPU requirements before you switch to LTSP.
As for mainatance aspect of LTSP, i dont think LTSP
requires less maintanence and comes with its own share
of problems; What if different users want to use
diffrent softwares at the same time ?? Do you have
ample power with the server to handle it??
