Hi David,

we usually collect statistics about DSpace instances here, but
unfortunately, OS information is not included:

I know developers work both on Linux and Windows, some of them on Mac
OS X. But DSpace is mostly deployed on Linux, some small institutions
struggle with Windows and there are also users who have been running
it on Solaris.

I don't think there's any wrong path, it all comes down to your skill
set (the platform youre most comfortable with). You will surely get
plenty of help for both Linux and Windows. Just Linux is easier to set
up because you can just install dependencies (java, postgres, ant,
maven, ...) from repositories and not worry about keeping them
up-to-date.
