I've been running CF on Linux for 3 years and the platform is rock solid and noticeably faster than on the Windows systems I've used. I just upgraded to CFMX 6.1 (making a big jump from 4.5) and things seem to generally be running rather well. However the lack of Verity support is a major disappointment and has actually spurred me begin to looking at migrating to Tomcat or JBoss instead of CF. The nice thing about open source app servers is that the generally work on any Linux distro.
