When moving clients over to a Linux Desktop, I always point them to this link: http://linuxshop.ru/linuxbegin/win-lin-soft-en/table.shtml It's a database (or library) of equivalent software for Windows/Linux - with links to the products. For an easy to use graphics program they point to: 1) Kpaint. 2) Tuxpaint. 3) Xpaint. 4) Gpaint. 5) Killustrator. 6) Graphtool. I think you should look at TuxPaint. It can do some simple graphics very easily (meaning that it has an interface that a kid - I mean a microsoft user can easily access). === For Project management look at http://outreach.sourceforge.net/ This is a web-based Project manager with some very nice features. I haven't played with it yet, but it looks good.
