  If you do use Linux, for the filesystem you might want to use XFS. It's a
journaling filesystem (so even *if* the system goes down unclean, you don't
get a corrupted file system and fsck takes mere seconds). It also handles
small files efficiently. I'm using it on a production server right now and
haven't had any problems.
