Hi, You can find RPM distros for Tomcat on JPackage.com -- they do a good job. They use a standard Linux layout.
Or you can download the Tomcat .zip or .tar.gz distributions and unpack them yourself. Obviously the .exe distro is for Windows only. These distributions use a standard Tomcat structure. This will result in your getting more support on the mailing list and in general. So both approaches have advantages. As others have said, Tomcat is a Java product. The only native parts, which are therefore different on Linux from Windows, are some of the web server connectors e.g. mod_jk, and the daemon invocation mechanism (jsvc on unix, procrun on windows).
