Red Hat and SUSE are very much enterprise oriented. I know Ubuntu offers corporate support but I think you would have a better time with the tools offered in the first two. I'm would guess there would be flexibilty on price. There normally is, though I can't say for sure.

Check out YaST in SUSE. I find it to be an excellent tool for network servers and LDAP and Samba shares are extremely easy and quick to get going.

Linux and Proprietary systems: what kind of issues do you run into. And also, what pieces of technology you have - which are open source and which ones you have are proprietary and any changes you anticipate 1 year out.
