Ubuntu
Ubuntu - the Linux Distribution which started out small and has grown to be among the most common OSes in existence. Find out more about its benefits and drawbacks.
Ubuntu is a preferred desktop Operating System, that uses the Linux kernel, but its server version is getting really popular as well. The reason is the fact that the operating system is amazingly light and it'll run 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 a minimum of five years, which guarantees that you should have a protected and dependable software environment on your server at all times. Furthermore, Ubuntu has one of the biggest user communities worldwide, which means that if you experience any difficulty or have any kind of question, you will discover a number of resources on the Internet. One of the main benefits of this Operating System is that it comes with tens of thousands of software packages which can be freely changed according to your needs and the needs of the applications that you intend to run, not to mention that you will not have to pay any license fees at any time. In contrast, other OS's are paid and their program code is not accessible, which means that it can't be changed.
