I have run the Emulator on Windows 2000, Server 2003, Windows Xp, Debian, and Gentoo, all with the same hardware configuration. While I did not have a problem getting it setup and running on any of these OS's I did find that the server ran the best on Linux hands down. While I have tried many different flavors of linux in the past, I have only ever setup EqEmu on the two I mentioned earlier. Out of these I have liked Gentoo the most; however, this is mostly personal preference. So my point is, if you are willing to take the time to learn linux (or already know enough about it) setup a machine running linux for EqEmu and you will not be disappointed.
