Hi,
1 - My particular experience says "always use linux for servers".
2 - I use virtualization software like vmware or virtualbox for develop,
this way is extremely flexible.
3 - 4GB or 8GB of memory are good numbers (works well in my case).
4 - Use caching.
That is my contribution.

What happens now with your Lotus Notes apps - do you make another costly
upgrade, or settle for being marooned without product support? Time to move
off Lotus Notes and onto the cloud with Force.com, apps are easier to build,
use, and manage than apps on traditional platforms. Sign up for the Lotus
Notes Migration Kit to learn more. http://p.sf.net/sfu/salesforce-d2d
