I'm upgrading my Courier box in a few weeks (read: as soon as I can get my boss to release the funds). I also plan to use a dual Opteron setup with plenty (6-8 gigs) ram and ~100gigs RAID10 storage. I plan to use the soon to be released RedHat Enterprise Linux 4 for AMD64. I'm currently using RHEL3 and have been extremely pleased with it's performance, stability and easy update system. RHEL4 should also be quite stable as it's built off of Fedora Core 2/3. Security updates and support will also be made available until 2012. We're a educational institution so we can pickup a RHEL4 Advanced Server for $50 but if the commercial price tag is to large for you, consider looking at one of the RHEL clones like CentOS or Whitebox. They should be releasing RHEL4 clones soon after RH puts the SRPMS on the website and they can compile them. I believe Sam develops on Fedora Core 2 or 3 so it is a well supported platform.
