What about using a Citrix Server ? Dunno if the name of the
product is still the same ?

Its the solution where you run one Windows Server, install
all the applications you need and display the Windows Desktop
on multiple Unix machines. This scales up to many users ...
Depends on machine and net, but I think 50-100 would be possible.

In the ports collection there is a FreeBSD Citrix client.

Maybe a thing to look for ....

Then you can install and train people on FreeBSD ....

Maybe on the long run, you can train people to use Staroffice,
apps like evolution that look exactly like outlook... Maybe
evolution runs without Exchange server ... dunno, you have to
look ... maybe mail but not the calendar / groupware stuff ...

Best regards
