For those interested in a survey, there's a small one in the MapServer
wiki that was started a few months ago by Tyler Mitchell.  This should
at least give you an idea of which platforms are used to run MapServer:

P.S. Note that the objective of this survey was not to decide which one
of Windows or Unix/Linux was better, but to find the smallest processor
that was used to run sites with MapServer apps.  Until now the one to
beat is a Pentium 120... anyone running on a P90, P75, or even a 486?
