I am for Linux here - no nedd to reinstall the system every time the system crashes. As for the RAID - it is possible to make a software RAID on Linux quite easily and it performs well.
For me Linux + Samba would be the right combination. Plus - you could always add Domino server on the same machine if you think the system's average load is too low...
But anyway - use your favorite system here. There is nothing worse than experiments on a production server. If you feel like you can set up a Linux server in a cinch, just go ahead! I would and be quite happy not to deal with MS update flood every few days.
