Debian
To what does the Debian OS owe its level of popularity? What has made it the Linux distribution of choice for a lot of server administrators?
Debian is an Operating System which uses the Linux kernel. Even though it is usually installed on desktops, it's being used on a growing number of web servers as well. The reason is that it is really stable, so a server running it won't have to be restarted for months. Debian is also considered to be among the most secure Operating Systems out there, because security patches are released within days after an issue is discovered. This is possible because thousands of experienced developers are part of the Debian project on a voluntary basis and not only do they work on the OS itself, in addition, they provide 24/7 support via special e-mail lists and reply within 20 minutes to any kind of question. In this light, you'll get top-notch support directly from the developers who know their own platform in depth, and not from a third-party support team. Debian is also one of the Linux releases with the highest number of packages - over 30,000. Since the Operating System is absolutely free to use, you are able to modify both the core and all the packages in any way you see fit. In addition, you will not need to pay any kind of license fees.
