Debian is an OS that uses the Linux kernel. Though it is usually installed on desktop machines, it's being used on an increasing number of web servers too. The reason is that it is really stable, so a server running it won't have to be restarted for months. Debian is also regarded as being one of the most safe Operating Systems out there, since security patches are released within days after a problem is found. This is possible since thousands of well-trained developers are working for the Debian project on a voluntary basis and not only do they work on the OS itself, they also provide 24/7 support via special e-mail lists and reply within twenty minutes to any kind of question. In this light, you'll obtain an outstanding level of support directly from the developers who know their own platform in detail, and not from a third-party support team. Debian is also one of several Linux distributions 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 as well as all the packages in the way you see fit. In addition, you will not be required to pay any kind of license fees.
