Debian is a free Linux distro. It focuses on stability and freedom (as in speech) of software. Debian is distinguished by it's excellent package management system. If you want a solid and stable server, Debian is an excellent choice. If you need more cuting-edge software (the stable versions of Debian are sometimes made fun of for having really old versions of programs), try a distro based on Debian, such as Ubuntu or Sidux.
