I don't fully understand your needs but would suggest most anything you
are familiar with and can find support from others will do.

Wish I could say MacOS X Snow Leopard Server has been flawless but it
has not. Still its something worth evaluating. An entire Mac Mini Server
with two 500G drives an unlimited user license is a budget busting $995
full MSRP.

Many former FreeBSD core members now work for Apple. Many of the man
pages in MacOS X still say FreeBSD. Apple has done a lot for FreeBSD.
