they

someone

Apache

Apache would definately be the way to go... I don't know if you've
received any other responses yet, but I only found 2 consulting business
in Omaha from the Linux Consultants Guide - Paktronix and Open Source
Consulting.

can

I know there's at least a few users on the list with Solaris experience,
I'm not sure what their availablility is though.  A newer organization
starting up is the Free Software Consortium (www.fsc.cc) -- I'm somewhat
involved with it, but it is not very well known yet.
