I've been using Kontact as my all-round PIM/Email software for a couple of years now. I provides everything that Outlook does - that I need - plus some other benefits, such as displaying HTML e-mail as source, only displaying it as HTML after I click on a button to say that it is Ok to do so.

I've started using Evolution, but it has one or two things missing or are more difficult to accomplish than in Kontact, but both provide a better user experience than Outlook.

Hardware support is generally very good these days - much better than Windows, which doesn't support much of my hardware these days without a plethora of downloads or CD's from various manufacturers.

I visited a couple of friends last weekend and started working on my Linux laptop, within an hour the husband had installed OpenSuSE on his computer and was setting about installing it on his wifes machine - dual boot for now, but the wife spent the whole evening absorbed in the gadgets and games delivered with the OS :-P
