I would prefer Linux.

That depends on your load:

  I used Zope on a 100 MHZ Pentium with 32 MB RAM.
  It was not fast (it was slow!) but worked as I have been the only 
  user.

  Now, I am using Zope on a 1.4 GHZ AMD Athlon with 600 MB DDR-RAM
  and it flies. I would expect it to handle quite a few concurrent
  users.
