I think I can say that yes, Koha will be suitable, I am not aware of any other software with the same capabilities for the price :-) That being said, it requires more from the installer than a lot of of the shelf software. After lurking on the Koha mailing list for a while, I decided to run it on Linux. Windows is a lot of hassle and little support. (Besides, I had a computer that did not work with windows anymore anyway) Any question I have had about Linux, MySql, Perl or Koha I have been able to solve by either searching on the internet or asking in appropriate groups (like this one). I am running Debian Sarge, to keep life simple I ordered CD's from someone in California (yes, I know you can download it, but this is faster and easier, I got it within days and I live in Canada, I can give you their website if you want) My advice is to go with a mainstream distribution, Debian or Fedora, because it is easier to get specific help. I am kind of learning as I go, and I have bookmarked the kohadocs.org page, because, believe me, you will need it. My Koha is running, I am importing a lot of data (about 6300 books) and basically finetuning it. Still learning ;-) And in case you were wondering; I am not an IT person, and if you have questions you can always ask in this group, or directly.
