As for workstation comparisons: you won't find any, I don't think. Linux software is extremely limited and most would say it can't really compete. That is, unless all your apps have adequate Linux equivalents.
Staroffice looks like it can compete quite well with Microsoft Office, and KDE is as good or better a GUI than Windows 9x or XP. The main problem is that the user, unless he relies on a support desk for everything, must know how to configure text files and use a command line. Although YAST hides some of this from the user, ultimately it doesn't hide everything. Of course, from an expert's point of view, who wants to "get under the hood" it is great, but for the average computer user today this isn't "user friendly" enough.
