Interesting questions--unfortunately there really aren't any absolute answers. I'll offer my thoughts below.

CF runs great on Linux as long as you use one of the Macromedia-blessed distros. That being said, CF tends to run quite well on Windows as well, so if you're more familiar with Windows from an admin standpoint, then unless you want to learn Linux you might want to stick with Windows. I know I'm equivocating, but this is one of those "depends on your strengths and interest" questions. > What are the recommended system requirements....not minimums. Depends on traffic and load. These days if you're running on much less than a 2 or 3 GHz P4 with 1GB of RAM, I think you might be tempting fate, particularly if you have your CF and database servers on the same physical machine. Totally depends on your traffic and load, however. Low-traffic sites might do well on much more modest hardware. > Anyone know a good email server? We are currently using Mailsite.

As soon as you can afford it. ;-) Seriously though, it depends on load. If given your traffic, etc. the box is handling it, then aside from the standpoint of single point of failure, having everything on a single server might be OK. You'd just have to check your server logs and do some load testing to get a real answer to that question.
