one os that i'm not familiar with is Mac OS server (yes i know its based on bsd) just not sure how that system would handle people (due to its risc chipset)

sigh, you know maybe if we are talking about windows 98.
Windows Server 2003 is rock solid server, it is made to be fast and powerfull. It should run just as well side by side with the same hardware as a RHE box.
You can run apache on windows if you don't want to use IIS
And if you need IIS for some reason like asp.net then you need a windows box.
I am more inclined to use linux for a webserver and windows for a workstation and file server for my WINDOWS network
