The one thing about Linux is that you have full control. When you're with Windows or any other closed source system, you have to issue bug requests to the company to fix it. And chances are that they might not fix it. With open source, you'll just need to find someone smart enough to fix it. There's also limitless possibilities in terms of customization of the technology to suit the system you're trying to build. For that, I would pick Linux. And yes.. package managers and unix tools make it a breeze to deploy.
