On that note I have to ask: have you ever set a Netware Webserver up? I know 
two companies that use it very happily, and rave about how much 
control/security they have with it. I won't say a preference one way 
or the other since everybody's needs are different, but I would say see
for yourself. 

Of course, if you *really* want to go on the inexpensive, let's talk

Personally I'm watching which way BE OS goes next....

hope this helps.........
