I have had a Slackware box (P-200 64MB ram) serving ~200 users with
~30K-40K messages per day running for two years with no problems (useing
sendmail and cyrus) I just recently had to upgrade the memory as it was
starting to swap a bit.
As for the flavor of linux, pick one that you are comfortable with. My
personal prefrence is slackware, but if you know redhat you are better
using it then learning a different distro.
