It's very tough to answer questions like this.
The amount of ram depends alot on the application, how active
those 30 users will be, what % of the data if most frequently
accessed, etc.
As for the OS, that can be a very 'religious' subject. If there's
an existing support staff, I'd say go with whatever they are
comforatable with supporting.
