Ubuntu
Find out more on Ubuntu, how this tiny Linux distro has taken the world by storm and why it’s now so favored.
Ubuntu is a preferred desktop Operating System, which uses the Linux kernel, but its server edition is getting very popular too. The main reason is that the operating system is extremely light and it will function on almost any hardware without any issues, utilizing its resources to the max. Ubuntu is also very reliable and secure and all the Long-Term Support (LTS) versions are supported for at least 5 years, which warrants that you will have a protected and dependable software environment on your hosting server at all times. In addition, Ubuntu has one of the biggest user communities on the planet, so if you experience any issue or have any kind of question, you'll discover numerous resources on the net. Among the basic advantages of this OS is the fact that it contains a great number of software packages that can be freely customized according to your needs and the needs of the apps which you need 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 program code is not accessible, thus it can't be changed.
