Debian is an Operating System that uses the Linux kernel. Even though it is usually set up on desktops, it's being used on more and more 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 one of the most risk-free Operating Systems to be found, because security patches are released within days after a problem is discovered. This is possible because thousands of well-experienced developers are part of the Debian project on a voluntary basis and not only do they work on the OS itself, but they also provide 24/7 support via special e-mail lists and respond within 20 minutes to any question. Thus, you will enjoy 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 one of several Linux distributions with the highest number of packages - over 30,000. As the Operating System is completely free to use, you're able to modify both the core as well as all the packages in any way you see fit. Also, you won't be required to pay any kind of license fees.
