[WinMac] Choosing a WinMac server

Given a cozy little LAN of six peer-to-peer machines, three Macs and three
Windows 98's what would list readers choose as a dedicated server, a Windows
NT box, a Unix box or a MacOS X server?

The LAN connects to ISDN thru a router, the Macs run arty applications with
calibrated, hi-quality monitors, the Wintels run boring bean-counter stuff
with cheap monitors and the server would administer vital back-ups, network
printers and so on. ColorSync is a _sine qua non_

I've no experience of "proper" operating systems, other than very basic Unix
familiarity, but the issues as I see them are: MacOS X hasn't been around
very long and Microsoft OS's are a pig's breakfast. What do the experts
think?
