We are planning to move to using [DD4T](https://code.google.com/p/dynamic-delivery-4-tridion/) for a new website. Currently the cd\_deployer is in Linux. We have the following questions:

1. Do we need to switch cd\_deployer to Windows server while using DD4T?
2. I am a novice to DD4T, but have gone through the reference documentation. However I could not find how the DD4T application gets the Broker database connection details to the DD4T MVC Application.

Thanks in advance.
