Okay, keeping investments out, which of the following Operating Systems should I be using for a small-scale high density server that serves up-to 25 clients, acts as a DHCP server, maintains databases, maintains user files, and a print server all rolled into one. The options I have is:
Microsoft Windows 2003 SB server (for its application support)
Red Hat Enterprise Linux (for legendary reliability)
Cent OS (Free and lite)
Fedora Core 5 (Free RHEL clone, no support)
FreeBSD. (Unmatched system stability, highest uptime ever)
Also, Which hardware architectures would help me best?
x86 Intel Xeon
x86 AMD Opteron
IBM PowerPC multicore
x86 Intel Core2 Duo
x86 AMD Athlon64 FX
