[split] Linux ... (CommunityAuth)

I use Ubuntu, and it's a great Linux distribution for beginners. Linux itself is just the kernel, so you cant just install it by itself. LAMP can be installed on just about any Linux distro, but Ubuntu 16.04 (just released) has PHP7 available, and thats kind of a big deal for me. I've tried a lot of distros, and I prefer Ubuntu because of the Unity desktop, and the overall polishing of the OS.

OK, it appears as if Ubuntu I'll go with. Do you know anything about Linux Mint?

Does Ubuntu have Firefox available?

As a matter of interest when the building of the site is ready to go online, is the server loaded with the Linux Kernel? By the way I have bought an old server so I'll need to learn about that at some stage.
