I am strictly talking Red Hat I have not used anything else. Linux is more stable. Linux is Free (unless you buy phone support). Linux has plenty of free help on-line both from users and Red Hat. Linux is Open Source. Linux is more robust in Internet server Applications (webserver, email). Linux comes with tons of FREE software applications. Linux is harder to learn
Windows is Not Free. Windows requires CAL's. Windows has "The Blue Screen of Death". Windows is not Open Source. Windows Phone Support is not free and is very bad. Windows on-line support is TechNet and is sometimes helpful. Windows is easy to learn the basics. Windows is subject to just about every virus that comes out. I have not compared the performance of CFMX on Linux but will be soon but even so you're still going to have the Windows problems. I would only guess the CFMX would run better on Linux.

Any good websites, or is this one of those "Check the archives you fool" questions? ;) (lol) Candace K.
