We use Debian Linux on our Moodle and database servers (and others: we have about 20 or so running Linux), with some older servers still running Ubuntu LTS (which is broadly the same).
We use Shibboleth as our SSO provider (which is running on Windows, as someone else set it up, but it would work just as well (if not better) on Linux).
I hope that's useful.
Paul.

Linux all the way. Linux servers are easy to run (pretty much leave them humming away in a corner) and are far more reliable than Windows ones. And, of course, are what Moodle was originally designed to run on (the so-called LAMP setup = Linux, Apache web server, MySQL and PHP).

Subject: [VLES] Moodle server Linux vs Windows
Dear all,
Baring in mind that I don’t have a server side /backend background, I have been asked to find out what institutions prefer for their in-house Moodle setup. Linus or Windows based Server?
Any thoughts, or guidance very much preferred
