I, given more my attitude than experience, would say that the linux
or bsdi route would be at least less expensive. I believe that bsdi
costs about US$1,000.00 but it includes many features that would be
additional to an NT server. Here is an old comparison on the bsdi
site:

At iserver they use bsdi and it works great. But there must be a
newer comparison somewhere.
I think that given the money, expertise, and hardware one could
create a solution that works with NT. It would be interesting to
note the major sites which use NT vs. Unices.
