Debian
To what does the Debian OS owe its worldwide popularity? What has made it the Linux distribution of choice for a lot of server admins?
Debian is an OS which uses the Linux kernel. Even though it is usually installed on desktop computers, it is being used on a growing number of web servers as well. The reason is that it's very stable, so a server running it won't need to be restarted for months. Debian is also considered to be among the most protected Operating Systems to choose from, as security patches are released within days after a problem is found. This is possible since thousands of skilled developers are working for the Debian project on a voluntary basis and not only do they work on the OS itself, but they also provide 24/7 support by using special mailing lists and reply in 20 minutes to any question. Thus, you'll obtain top-level 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 several Linux releases with the highest number of packages - over 30,000. Since the Operating System is absolutely free to use, you're able to modify both the core and all of the packages in any way you see fit. In addition, you will not need to pay any license fees.
