From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Important elaboration. Much appreciated.
I'm mostly oblivious of what's required to run an ISP. But you mentioned servers yourself. Do you install Linux Mint on your servers?
@lancalot Consider things like setting up mail servers and web hosting configuration, when you've got hundreds of virtual domains, when you've highly optimized apache compiled from scratch and modified to your needs, that is the kind of thing I'm talking about that is time consuming and I don't wish to do from scratch more often than is necessary.
@lancalot And for the record, I don't have anything against Mint as an OS, it's Ubuntu with some pretty GUI admin apps thrown on top. I rarely use the GUI's so updates aside it's six of one or half dozen of the other. From a command line perspective, except when things break,they are identical and admittedly the aesthetics of Mint are in my view superior.
