We run CF on multiple distros of linux, and it is very stable! More so
than Windows ever was for me.
We currently have several servers running redhat 7.2, 7.3 and 9.
We have a config similar to what you are wanting to do. Redhat 7.3 with
CFMX 6.1 running on JRUN, but also running tomcat. I don't think you
can run CF on top of Tomcat, but you can run Tomcat as another process
on the server simultaneously. If you want to use verity, I would stick
with 7.2
If you like I can config a virtual dedicated server for you with
unlimited bandwidth for only $40 a month -- exactly how you want
it...Personally I have been admining Linux for several years, and have
really gotten into CF on Linux over the past 2 years.
The install is very easy, but you need to know where the apache conf
files are, and you need to know a bit about administering apache as
well. There will definitely be a learning curve, but it is worth it...I
will never admin windows again, unless a client insists of course...once
you get the server up and running, you will be loving it...the uptime
has been so much better on linux than it ever has been on windows for me.
If you have any questions, I'd be happy to help. Look up my contact
info at http://exciteworks.com ( I don't post my email addresses here
due to way to many spammers).
