Linux for the firewall.

Suse OpenExchange is a good exchange alternative.  It uses Postfix for 
the mail server, it has excellent web based configuration tools.  (It 
isn't free though, but is a LOT cheaper than MS Exchenge).  You can also 
use OpenExchange for regular user authentication since it uses LDAP for 
its user database.

I don't know much about VPNs.  We use PPTP here and all I can say is 
that it works and is easy to set up.
