If I understand the Samba documentation correctly, it can act as primary
domain controller for a WinNT4 network, maybe even Win2k. Same remark
goes for servers B and D.
What OS are the workstations?

If you have Windows clients, you may want to look into Samba's printer
sharing facilities.

Again, if you have Windows clients, you need additional software
(Windows doesn't support NFS). Try the filesharing facilities of Samba
instead - works very nicely in the company I work for.

What language is currently used for CGI applications? If it's ASP
(VBScript), you may need an ASP environment for Linux. There is one at
http://developers.sun.com/prodtech/asp/ (formerly Chilli!soft)
http://wwws.sun.com/software/chilisoft/ There is also a converter for
VBScript ASP pages into PHP: http://asp2php.naken.cc/
Same for server G.

If you really insist on using a commercial (expensive) database, use
IBM's DB2 Universal Database. It is more modern, better scalable,
faster, more reliable, has better support and is cheaper! I have worked
with both databases, and I won't touch Oracle any more!
For a small database, you may want to look at Firebird, because unlike
MySQL this free database has all the neat features of a *real* database
(stored procedures, triggers, real transactions, subselects...). Very
convenient once you get used to it...

Depending on your needs, you may want to use IBM's Lotus Notes/Domino
server instead. It's not cheap, but much more reliable - and IMHO the
best groupware available. You can model all your business structures and
workflows in Notes - if one step is done, the next in the row gets an
e-Mail with link to the process. Client and server are available for
Linux.

Shouldn't this be integrated into server J?

Should be moved onto server L (firewall)
I hope that helps.
