Margaret,


I would highly suggest that you read the "How to ask a question the
smart way" by Eric S. Raymond, it's great.

http://linux-bangalore.org/articles/smart-questions.php


That said,

You really need to provide a lot more info.


How many users?
What are uptime requirements?
What's the pain threshold if there's an outage?
How many things would you be supporting?  IE Desktops, servers,
	printers, etc.


What do you traditionally do for servers?  Do you use desktops, Shudder,
do you use low end, "whitebox" systems, do you use, I hope, "real
servers" IE: HP,IBM,Dell, servers with hardware RAID, Hot swap disks
etc.

What OS do you plan to run this on?
