As Zope runs on both platforms, you should pick the
operating system which you personally prefer. Remember,
almost everything runs on windows also (and if not
natively, you can still use cygwin). Of course, there
might be some issue about single points, but in general,
you should pick the OS you prefer.

Currently, I do my development stuff on a Windows XP box,
but I'll switch to my linux box as my replacement hard disk
arrived today. Switching forward and back between those two
operating systems goes without a hassle - either export the
stuff, sync it with the sync products or (I don't recommend
nor I've testet that method) copy the database over.

Cheers,
Timo
