Hi, Before you decide on a commercial server OS take a look at FreeBSD it is at version 4.7 . It is rock solid and easier to maintain than any other we have tried at our ISP location. It has a system for upgrading and adding fixes any time without problems. There many Sys Admins on line to help with questions you may have. Aloha!
