Debian is an Operating System that uses the Linux kernel. Even though it is usually set up on desktops, it is being used on an increasing number of web servers as well. The reason is that it's very stable, so a server running it will not need to be restarted for months. Debian is also considered to be one of the most safe 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 well-experienced developers are employed by the Debian project on a voluntary basis and not only do they work on the OS itself, they also provide 24/7 support by using special mailing lists and respond in 20 minutes to any kind of question. In this light, you will have 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 - more than 30,000. As the Operating System costs nothing to use, you can modify both the core and any of the packages in any way you see fit. Furthermore, you won't have to pay any license fees.
