I just wanted to give my input also, I would also recommend a Linux Server.

On Ubuntu Server, 12.04LTS, Moodle uses anywhere from 50mb to 100mb of memory per concurrent process during a quiz, the lower end is just forums posts and other clicking around,

The attached is live reading during a quiz, Moodle, no-addons, secure quiz in popup, 1 question per page, you can see how much memory each concurrent process is using.

Using the highest for today, that would be 10 concurrent processes per GB of memory, this is what I have always seen and in all my posts. 4GB of RAM = about 40 concurrent requests if all 4GB are dedicated to IIS or Apache, the OS would still need additional memory

Thanks a lot everybody. especially you Jason.
Osman, true the Windows pricing is steep. However, I will go now with Windows because we are in a hurry to deploy one site. It is already done, you can find it here www.toastech.com.

In the future, if the windows pricing doesn't change or I get discount from Microsoft, then I will learn Linux and start deploying on it.

Thanks again smile.
