The exact reason our company is targeting Linux as well.  :-)  We have
a franchise business and want to lower the running cost of our
franchisees.

We are doing the same. Our product runs and all distros we tried it
on, but are rather going to recommend a single distro, to simply and
improve support. Currently we recommend the Ubuntu LTS (long term
support) releases. It's a relative small install, only one CD install
and well supported on the internet etc...

We are also evaluating other Window Managers for very low spec
systems. We have also made some notes on those Window Managers because
they don't all work the same (modal dialogs come to mind) and don't
all support the FreeDesktop standards (adding menus, desktop icons,
file locations...) etc...
