I am having trouble iterpreting "In case it works, my whole south
french village (public library, town hall, school) would work under
my favorite distro". It could mean one of two different things:

[1] That the rest of the town is already using Linux.

[2] That the OP plans on migrating the rest of the town to Linux
if the library project is a sucess.

I am guessing that [2] is correct. If so, HJohnson makes a very good
point. If it's just the library, the systems are likely to be running
a web browser with no interaction with the OS or other applications
- little or no training involved. The school would have to add other
apps such as word processing, and the town hall would need a system
capable of doing many things that would require training.
