Cold Fusion on Linux is great. We use it exclusively. We find NT to be less reliable,
and difficult to remotely administer (especially a large server farm of them). We have
no experience with Win2K.
MySQL is very very fast, but is not a full featured RDBMs. For a heavily trafficked
site or a site doing financial transactions I would recommend using a full featured
RDBMS like MS-SQL, Oracle, or Sybase.
You can mix and match these. In other words, you can use Linux Cold Fusion with MSSQL
on an NT box, or any combination of Cold Fusion servers with Database servers.
We happen to use Sybase on Linux (again, since we like Linux so much). Oracle would
also be an excellent choice (probably a better database, but much more expensive).
MSSQL is not available on Linux.
