who's going to be setting up and maintaining the software on the server? that should ultimately decide if you'll be using 2k3 or a linux distro. gui linux i didn't think was that bad (used fedora C4 for awhile), but I still know very little about it. having said that, server 2k3 is quite easy, and the learning curve is a major plus.
