Linux is a complete operating system that is similar but not identical to Unix. It runs on a wide variety of hardware, ranging from Intel and AMD CPUs to more exotic hardware such as Digital Alpha computers, PowerPCs, and Silicon Graphics workstations.
Probably the most unique characteristic of Linux is that it is freely distributable. Freely distributable means that the source code for the kernel and most software cannot be withheld.
It does not mean that companies cannot charge for it. By means of comparison, hosting a website on Unix or Linux is nearly identical.

What is Unix ?
Unix is a computer operating system. Unix was created in the late 1960s, in an effort to provide a multi-user, multitasking system. The philosophy behind the design of Unix was to provide simple, yet powerful utilities that could be pieced together in a flexible manner to perform a wide variety of tasks.
- A majority of the software written for Unix and Linux is developed under the same GNU General Public License as the operating systems.
- What this means, is that it is fairly simple to locate and install the software you need with minimal, if any, out of pocket expense.
- Compared to the Windows platform, this is a big plus for the Unix and Linux markets.
If you plan to host the site yourself, and you own the web servers or the software on them, then Unix [or Linux] would definitely be a less expensive option.
If you plan to sign up with a web hosting company, and they own the servers and the software installed on them, you will find that there are excellent hosting options available for each platform at very comparable prices.
