Linux , Apache , Sendmail.

You answered your own question - easily the most secure unless you want to go Groupwise for email which is pretty good.

If you are looking for firewalls - Try Gnatbox www.gta.com - Ive just started a new contract as a firewall administrator and its one of the best Ive ever used and runs on a pure floppy based machine - no hard disk just a plain beige box with a floppy drive - uses a Unix Kernel and its never been hacked.
