Ubuntu
Ubuntu - the Linux Distribution which started small and is now among the most preferred OSes nowadays. Learn more about its benefits and drawbacks.
Ubuntu is a popular desktop Operating System, which uses the Linux kernel, but its server release is getting pretty popular as well. The reason is that the OS is amazingly light and it can function on almost any kind of hardware without issues, utilizing its resources to the fullest. Ubuntu is also extremely reliable and secure and all of the Long-Term Support (LTS) versions are supported for a minimum of 5 years, which guarantees that you should have a risk-free and stable software environment on your server at all times. Also, Ubuntu has one of the biggest user communities on the planet, so if you experience any issue or have any question, you'll discover a number of resources on the Internet. One of the key advantages of this OS is that it contains a great number of software packages which can be easily modified in accordance with your needs and the needs of the applications which you would like to run, not to mention that you will not have to pay any kind of license fees at all. In contrast, other OS's are paid and their code isn't accessible, thus it cannot be changed.
