You'd need something like a 2- or 4-processor box with 4G of RAM to
handle that kind of traffic. Have hardware RAID with fast channels
and disks.
Going in for a FLOSS CMS sounds good, but be aware that most CMSs
(FLOSS and otherwise) are riddled with security holes. Hire a good
security consultant to help you out.
[Incidentally I'm a good security consultant]

I can only give opinions about Linux... no point in going in for a
proprietary Unix when Linux works as well or better, and server costs
are so much lower.

Facts: I said it so it must be true.
Figures: Here's three for a start: 36, 24 and 36. Please feel free to
contact me if you require more -- I have tons of spare numbers lying
around that I haven't used for quite some time.
Seriously, please don't expect the list to do your homework for you.
You want suggestions, you'll get them; making them acceptable to your
clients is your job.

You're welcome.
