Hi Charlie,
Our main galaxy server is actually running CentOS 5.10. The galaxy cloud instances are built on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS. That said, as far as I know, any *nix with python 2.5 or above should work fine.
The following two links have lots of information regarding setting up your own server:
http://wiki.g2.bx.psu.edu/Admin/Config/Performance/Production%20Server http://wiki.g2.bx.psu.edu/Admin/NGS%20Local%20Setup
Automated setup of many tools is available currently via mi-deployment, see https://bitbucket.org/afgane/mi-deployment for more information on that. In coming months, automated deployment of many tool binaries will be available directly from within Galaxy via the Tool Shed.
And lastly, this is definitely the right list for this type of question. Thanks for your interest in Galaxy!

Dear all,
New bee here. Wonder if this is the right place to post following questions:
We are interested in setting up a server like galaxy main server. Wonder which Linux Platform is the main server running on. Also is there a method for batch installing tools that now are available on the main galaxy server? If not, wonder if can point me to the documentation of the main galaxy server installation.
Please excuse me if this is not the right list! Thanks a lot!
Charlie
