Linux is a UNIX based operating system originally written by Linus Torvalds. It is open source and free of charge to use under the GNU GPL. Its a robust system that is used throughout the world for website hosting. You will find Linux is very robust and stable. At HostingNZ we make sure all our Debian Linux servers are fully patched to the latest stable version. We encourage most people to use this system, unless they need to run microsoft .net based systems.
