Even then...
300 users should fit on a desktop-class machine (provided you've got  
enough RAM).
Zimbra uses Java / Jetty and thus likes to have enough RAM.
On a single server, I'd go with at least 8 GB of RAM.
Go with 64bit Linux (AMD64).
CentOS is not supported, but it seems to work nicely or now...
