My best experience to date (particularly with non-computer literate end users) has been Lindows, the worst - Xandros (would not install on ANY of the 3 systems I attempted to install). I would have to say that from a management / replication standpoint Red Hat is likely the leader by far. Don't know if he'll shime in or not, but my co-worker Jeremey has been battling SuSE for weeks (on an arguably Windows-centric corporate network) and it has been quite the arduous task getting to stable functionality.
You might consider looking at the Red Hat K-12 stuff (as well as other K-12 sites) - it's not just for kids anymore. I would also say that from a deployment standpoint IBMs xCAT is pretty usefull too...

My company is considering moving to Linux on the Desktop :). I have
been tasked with testing and evaluation different distros. Here is a
list of ones that I am going to test. Has anyone had any experience
with using Linux in a corporate environment, or Good/Bad experiences
with these. Remember some pretty computer illiterate people will be
using these and are VERY use to the Windows experience. Did I miss any
good candidates?
VectorLinux
Fedora C2
SuSE
debian
Xandros
Sun JDS
Red Hat Desktop
Mandrake
Thanks,
Chris Romano
