As the maintainer for both the Windows and FreeBSD port, I think both
are stable enough for out-of-box needs, but if you are going to seriously
customize RT toward your organization's goals, then FreeBSD is a better
choice.

Because that more RT hackers use some kind of Unix as their native
platform, it is easier to find support, resources, and configuration
options there.  For example, although I sell support for the Windows port
as part of my business (mostly to Chinese-speaking customers), I do all
my RT related development on FreeBSD myself.

Upgrading and tweaking invidivual components (database, http server, cpan
modules) is also much easier with a sane package management system,
instead of relying on hand-managed versions. :-)

Thanks,
