Numerous Linux machines have the Apache web server set up on them, because this application is also absolutely free, fast and reliable. It's the most frequently used web server available and is part of the LAMP bundle that a lot of script apps, including WordPress and Joomla, need. LAMP is an abbreviation for Linux, Apache, MySQL and PHP.
