Operating Systems
- GNU/Linux - an operating system based on the Linux kernel . Widely-used distributions include Red Hat Linux, Debian GNU/Linux, SuSE, and MandrakeSoft.
- The *BSD Operating systems (FreeBSD (general purpose), OpenBSD (security-focused), NetBSD (portability-focused)).

Network Services
- Apache (web server)
- bind (domain naming service, a critical Internet infrastructure service)
- Mailman (mailing list manager)
- Samba (supports interoperability with Windows clients by acting as a Windows file and print server)
- Postfix (email server)
- Sendmail (email server) .
This is the most popular email server in the world. However, it has had a number of security issues over time; some people use Postfix (also listed here) instead, so anyone considering Sendmail should also consider Postfix at least (another widely-used choice is Exim).
