Need help picking server soft

by urbanvisions . Updated 24 years, 5 months ago

I’m in the process of starting my own Company. It’s a non profit that will teach kids content creation. Using the latest software like GoLive, photoshop, quark..etc. We will also be branching out into teaching programmimg as I get more funding.
Theproblem I have is picking a server software. It looks like I’ll be able to afford 25 machines. Atleast 5 will be dedicated staff machines that will need e-mail. The others just need the net, printing, and file sharing. I was also thinking about hosting our own website with a box as well, but this is just a thought. It might cost to much to do this.
I was mulling over what to get. I really can’t afford a full time IT person..(yet)I know a little bit of 2000 and some Linux. But I am curious about Mac OSX Server. The plus side of Mac OSX is that for $499 I can get unlimited lic, a unix core, apache’, and a easy to use GUI. Linux is free and MS is everywhere.

I was also thinking about using the new iMacs in the lab. either that or Dell’s. but my space is limited.
anyideas?
