Linux AV solutions are generally mail/file scanners looking for Windows
viruses. I can't think of (m)any modern Linux viruses, and trojans/worms
you can keep out just by keeping your software up-to-date.

Given you're talking about an all-GNU/Linux network, I wouldn't bother
with one personally. If you use something like Debian on your machines,
you can have a local apt cache and update all the machines weekly or
something. Pas probleme.

Cheers,
