From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

That is completely up to what their requirements are (which applications they use, workflow etc) and what your users are like. Some users are extremely resistant to change - and have connections to people in high places - so you'll need to think about how to handle them. Like back in my helpdesk days, we had a bunch of VIP users and admin staff oppose the upgrade to Office 2007 (from XP/2003), mainly due to its new ribbion interface, and also incompatibility with some of their custom macros etc. We were midway thru the rollout and ended up completely halting the upgrades due to the fuss they kicked up. Office XP/2003 was already way out of support, but they didn't care or listen.
So yea, you'll need to ask your users, not us.
Company owner is 10000% on board because cheap so the only complications will be getting some win-specific software (download clients mostly) to run on the emu
Honestly that is a fairly bad reason. If you do this it is likely not going to end well and you will pay is downtime and man hours.
What are you using the terminal server for? Is it something that can be done on a user device?
