[wellylug] Quote for setting up file server wanted

[Peter Jones]

I don't fit the requirement of being in a business that provides Linux
solutions, 
but I am sure that SME  (aka E-Smith) would meet the requirement. Paid
support is available
from Mitel if required

That was probably the easy part - finding the local support will be the hard
part

Help!

I am trying to persuade a small organisation not to accept the following 
proposed 'solution' to their file server needs:

"The server, with Microsoft Small Business Server 2003 - Premium Edition, 
would provide the following services:
-Internet Connectivity and Security - Microsoft ISA Server
-User Security and Authentication - Microsoft Active Directory
-File and Print Services - Microsoft Windows Server 2003
-Local and Internet Email - Microsoft Exchange Server 2003
-SQL Database - Microsoft SQL Server 2000"

Would those of you who are used to dealing with businesses like to propose 
a linux 'solution' to this organisation.  By "used to dealing with 
businesses" I mean able to provide an appropriate business like front to 
persuade any corporate type that you are a serious contender, and 
understand how they look at the world.  (ie if you do this sort of thing 
for a living it would help!).
