[wplug] Linux Client Image Advice

[Ritchie, Lauren]

Hi, i am an intern this summer at a company  in Huntingdon Pa, and i am
working with linux. I have to work with old pc's, that are still usuable
just old, so we are putting linux on them, most likely redhat enterprise ES.
My job is to find the best: 

email client (one like outlook, only for linux) 
be configured to accept network IPs, gateways, etc 
access to local shared drives 
have a browser to be able to run browser based applications (i.e. 11i) 
have backup process for data files and 
automated process to install image onto an old PC 

what do you suggest for each of the categories? 

I am thinking for the email client either evolution or mozilla's
thunderbird, and for the browsing either mozilla's firebird or firefox, and
as for backup i have looked into tar, but thats about 

HELP! As i stated before, i have not really worked with linux much so any
advice would be great! Thank you!
