An observation
Now I am actually working in the industry with Linux administration being a fair part of my duties I would most definitely suggest the following.
Relearn what you already know !!
By this I mean - Throw away your Xwindow, throw away your Gnome, throw away your KDE and learn to run *nix from the command line only. Not one of the sites we administer has a GUI, and I have to say that I struggle ... lol At the end of the day the thing that matters is not the desktop, but how we are able to manipulate the system itself.

I take it your machines are mostly servers, and I guess it makes
since to not have a GUI resource hog running on the machine. I think most home users need the desktop experience before they consider linux useful. IE they will need the GUI but must eventually learn to configure everything from the console. I tend to view X as a glorfied super shell rather than being a critical part of the OS.
