Salix as enterprise desktop workstation

We are planing on making an enterprise desktop workstation that will be deployed remotely. We will most likely manage these using Puppet and support using Bomghar. The goal is to make a replacement Windows desktop environment for non-tech savvy folks. The UI of both Mate and XFCE both are excellent for this goal. Most of the work is done inside a web browser by the end-users.

Some Issues:
- Support for Outlook Clients
- Windows 2012 third-party server that is being used on some of the current workstations
- Printers (network) and local.

I a few questions regarding Salix:
- What are some recommended packages if we use Salix as our underlying distro?
- Any support issues that may pop-up in this setup?
