Cynthia, a few questions if you don&#39;t mind:<br><br>- what do you plan to use the servers for? (mail/web/files/media/general-purpose etc)<br>- who will be administering them?<br>- what is their expertise level?<br>- are they expected to be full-time system administrators?<br>


- which do you have more of: money (to pay someone to do it) or time (to get your hands dirty on occasion if need be?)<br><br>Your answers will help narrow down your choices.<br><br>Saidi<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

<div>If you can for a moment not say &quot;Linux&quot;, then PC-BSD can give you a very nice Desktop as well as a proven server under the hood (FreeBSD).</div>
