Servers may use many different operating systems,
but the ones you will most often encounter will be using either Unix or Linux.

Operating Systems

How Operating Systems Work - to quote How Stuff Works,

At the simplest level, an operating system does two things:
 from How Stuff Works, a model of the layers of software incorporated in the operating system
  1. It manages the hardware and software resources of the computer system. These resources include such things as the processor, memory, disk space, etc.
  2. It provides a stable, consistent way for applications to deal with the hardware without having to know all the details of the hardware.
