For free? ;-)
I need to support about 15 - 30 (some part time) students, so I would like to keep the costs low. If it's free, so much better. SME works for most of the stuff, but it still runs on CentOS 4, and I'd prefer to use 5.
I have a sense of deja-vu. Didn't we have all these questions and specs a couple of weeks ago?
That was more about something that scaled up. For 15 people I'd probably run SME server in a VMware guest on a machine doing something else. And handle the high availablity by having the host use RAID1 on swappable disks that could be moved to a spare chassis.

Pfsense supports CARP which can be used for failover. FreeNAS/Openfiler(CentOS) can be used for file sharing and it supports RAID also. and you can use KVM on CentOS to run all of them(VMs) including a VM which can use Zimbra or any other groupware software you want.
