Debian is an Operating System which uses the Linux kernel. Though it is usually installed on desktop machines, it is being used on more and more web servers too. The reason is that it's really stable, so a server running it will not need to be restarted for months. Debian is also considered to be among the most secure Operating Systems nowadays, due to the fact that security patches are released within days after a problem is found. This is possible since thousands of qualified developers work 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 through special e-mail lists and respond within 20 min to any question. In this light, you will receive top-level support directly from the developers who know their own platform in detail, and not from a third-party support team. Debian is also among the Linux releases with the highest number of packages - over 30,000. Since the Operating System is completely free to use, you can modify both the core as well as all the packages in the way you see fit. Furthermore, you won't be required to pay any license fees.
