Hello,
I am a graduate student at York University researching GIS and their applications to the field of planning. I am working on a comparison of map servers and would like to verify that the information I have collected is accurate. Please see attached spreadsheet.
Thank you in advance for your cooperation,

There are a few little things wrong or missing.
First the 'manufacturer' is not Earth Resource Mapping. It's an open
source project, so there's no real manufacturer. But The Open Planning
Project started and maintains the project.
I'm not sure about your operating system list. Sun is just another
flavor of unix, so it should be supported as well. And since GeoServer is
written in Java, which is Sun's language, it doesn't make sense that their
OS wouldn't support geoserver.
Any webserver compliant servlet api 2.1 will work with geoserver.
For database we also support Oracle.
For GeoServer itself there are no client side requirements, that depends
on the specific WFS client, of which there are a few and more being built
all the time. We just serve data in an interoperable way. The data model
is vector.
The next release will support ArcSDE and WMS as well.
Java is the only language for interface customization.
Users can modify the database, as it is a transactional WFS, so you can
use direct xml requests or a good client.

Since the application is written in Java it should certainly work with the Sun OS.
Similarly I don't believe that any specific dependencies exist between GeoServer-wms branch and a WebServer
Oracle and Arcsde DataStore access exists (I have not personally tested them)
I am not sure if simple Postgresql access is support (I think GeoServer is limited to Post GIS)
I don't believe there are any client side requirements for wms (wms serves up images does it not?)
WFS is not a FileFormat .. not sure where else you would want to classify it though.
Cheers,
