Generally, the application or script does not care about the OS of the server as long as it understands how to properly talk to the database that you're using. Make sure that whatever programs/scripts you're using are able to use mySQL databases. If they do, then most distro's will include mySQL by default. So it's usually already installed, and it's just a matter of setting up the database itself.

What distro will you be using? With some, you may need to do an advanced option and make sure that mySQL will be installed.
