I don't like Lindows simply because it tries too hard to be winblows.

I have heard good things about Xandros/CrossOver office, though. Makes installing most winblows productivity software installation and use a snap on linux machines. Unfortunately, it's a pay product but it is relatively cheap for the CrossOver Office plugin alone.

Check out this article

FYI, I like Debian the best - as with any linux product, be prepared for a steep learning curve - I recommend a dual-boot system until you get familiarized.
