Uh, who's going to be maintaining this? :-)

Pretty much any *nix distro will do, but I'd think you would want the
relevant devs and admins to jointly explore a few to decide which
offers the easiest transition from Windows.

Have everyone involved install VMs of e.g. Ubuntu, CentOS, etc.,
and play with them: use the package management system to install
things you'll need (database, web server, etc.); install from source
without the package management system; practice doing Rails
deployments in a sandbox environment. And so on.

FWIW,
