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.

A web server is just any software that can be accessed with web network protocols. This can look like a lot of things. If you have Python installed you can start a web server right now by running
python -m http.server. localhost:8000 in a browset would then let you browse files via the (local) web.What kind of server do you want to run?
