[Using Sakai] Recommended Windows platform for serving up Sakai?

[Matthew Jones]

I've been running a Windows Server 2008 (Enterprise) as a QA at
Michigan (http://qa6-us.sakaiproject.org). I don't think it's a very
active QA, but it wasn't very hard to setup and I don't have to do
much work to keep it running. I'm not sure the advantages of setting
it up in production under Windows unless you wanted to try to
integrate it with some .NET applications directly or just had more
local windows administrative expertise/support. With sakai you're
basically just running tomcat and either proxying it from a webserver
(IIS/Apache) or running tomcat solo directly. so the OS shouldn't
matter that much anyway, just so long as it has a sun jvm.
(solaris/osx/linux/windows)

Also, sakai doesn't officially support mssql, so you'd have to still
run oracle or mysql somewhere.

Many people do run it as a trial/demo under Windows though. As a
production I'd probably use a server (2003 or 2008) machine.
