Why does it matter what OS they are running?
If you're going to be using abstracted functionality in your website, then 
the actual implementation is irrelevant ... and if there is an impact (i.e. 
if you save data to disk rather than in a database) then just work around 
it ...
If it's a philosophical objection, look at http://www.uklinux.net who have 
a very good level of functionality for free, and a reasonable charging 
scheme for extras.
