What are you getting from that that you don't get from standard (Windows +
cygwin)?

I will say that I do the majority of my dev work on Windows, but I'd never
consider deploying a live Windows server.  Bleah.  I also have a few Linux
boxes that are used for some dev work, so if there's really something
Linux-specific I've got a box around to try it on.

(If you don't want to run your own linux box, sign up for something like
Amazon's EC2 service; Linux servers at 20 cents an hour.)
