John, our AG node has always been Linux based and we are extremely pleased with the performance. Its a dual Xeon 3.2 gHz with 2 gigs RAM. Motherboard is a Tyan S2668 with onboard gigabit ethernet and soundcard. The soundcard works great with the ALSA drivers. Video is a G200 MMS quad output. Video capture consists of 3 Hauppage WinTV capture cards. Distribution is Slackware 10.
Even with a large AG conference consisting of 50-60 streams, the system load is 88% idle.
