Dan,
Actually there is Linux for "Office solution" for USERS that don't
want to deal with that shit. Try Ubuntu distribution (
http://www.ubuntu.com/ )
* Things work out of box without tweaking
* Things work on "click for autolaunch" and "drag and drop" level
* "Almost" windows

I've been a Unix person for 26 years. This is a perfect example to why
the hated windows
is still better then Linux/unix as an office solution. As far as Linux
desktop is concerned, I am a USER and I don't want to deal with that
shit.
I wrote myself a simple script and attached it to F1. It toggles
hebrew/english but I still have no flags on the icon, and the icon
itself does not update when the language switches.
-------------------
#!/bin/bash
cur_l=$(setxkbmap -model pc104 -print | grep xkb_symbols)
cur_l=${cur_l#*+}
cur_l=${cur_l%%+*}
case ${cur_l} in
us) setxkbmap -model pc104 -layout il
;;
il) setxkbmap -model pc104 -layout us
;;
*) setxkbmap -model pc104 -layout us
;;
esac
