@Mr. Dee Running on a LAMP (Linux Apache MySQL PHP) server, so the content you are seeing is being generated using Linux. A bit of a stretch, but you are "using" Linux, in that you are giving a Linux server commands to deliver you the content you want to see.
Linux sits behind a large number of big websites, and even more small ones.
Our ERP software runs on Linux, but we provide a Windows client, because the Linux server provides the stability and keeps the licensing costs for our customers to a minimum (most didn't have a server, before they started using our system), whilst the Windows client provides the front end flexibility that Linux can't currently offer.
I'm not a Linux fanboy, nor a Windows one, I use Windows, Linux and OS X on a daily basis and they are each as good as each other, in general terms. Each has plus point, where certain tasks are easier to accomplish, but in general day-to-day use, I don't see any real differences between them.
