Uh, who's going to be maintaining this? :-) Pretty much any *nix distro will do, but I'd think you would want the relevant devs and admins to jointly explore a few to decide which offers the easiest transition from Windows. Have everyone involved install VMs of e.g. Ubuntu, CentOS, etc., and play with them: use the package management system to install things you'll need (database, web server, etc.); install from source without the package management system; practice doing Rails deployments in a sandbox environment. And so on.
