Linux Servers

What is a Linux Server?

At its core, a Linux server consists of Linux, a family of free, open source software operating system built around the Linux Kernel. The Linux OS was created as an alternative, free, open source version of the MINIX OS, which was itself based on the principles and design of UNIX. Linux servers have gained popularity due to their stability, security and flexibility. These are also among the Key features that differentiate Linux servers from their proprietary counterparts.

The fully open-source nature of Linux helps keep setup and maintenance costs low, and it provides increased flexibility when it comes to setting up, operating, and maintaining a server. Users also get the benefit of the open source community and resources. As a result, many enterprises have adopted Linux servers to tap into this functionality.
