It really depends upon how big your user base is and how complex you want to get in terms of features. If it's reasonably small (less than 50 - 100 users) then pretty much any distro should be fine. The features you need will depend more upon the mail package than the server OS. I use postfix on Ubuntu and have no complaints, but I'm pretty basic. If you have a large user base then you might want to look into something like Red Hat Enterprise, especially given the support they can offer.





On the Outlook front, it can connect to any POP or IMAP server. The biggest issue will be calendar integration. To the best of my knowledge that only works with an MS Exchange server. However, there may be commercial third party apps that offer that functionality. Evolution (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Novell_Evol... ), for example, might be a possible solution.
Reply:I'd generally head direct to Debian for any kind of server based system.
Reply:I'd try slackware if your going to be running a huge server. But any distro will do if you build your code from source.
