How I would do it:
 
{}{}internet{}{}<--->[ADSL Router with filtering and NAT]<--->[hub]<--->{}inside machines and printers{}
 
give the machines their 10...x's or 128...x's and then there's no (little) chance (i think) anyone can address them specifically from the outside. 
 
be careful with the dual boot, it's good for emergency, but if they're shying away from their new software they might just stick with what they're more comfortable with.
 
the other thing i was wondering is:  do they have a shared drive for storing their documents?  they're not going to have lettered drives anymore are they?..will this be a problem?
 
i hope that the project works out.  i'm sure they're be a little growing pain but in the end i think you're doing them a huge service by saving them from M$'s limitations and licensing fees and giving them (hopefully) a better understanding of their IT resources.
 
one day they'll learn to read Man pages and HOWTOs and they'll be that much better off for it.
 
it's not THAT hard, anyway.  i have every confidence they'll adapt.
