Various distros work extremely well in a server environments and there are a lot of great open source programs to support this use. At the same time it's free which means corporations can use it on a wide scale without harsh licensing fees and individuals can play with it all they want.
It used to be just a nerd thing, but the major players in the linux world (SuSE, Redhat, 'buntu boys, etc) are taking great strides to make the distros more user-friendly and hopefully get to the point where they can compete on the same level as Microsoft Windows. They're not there yet, but they're improving and it's pretty amazing to see just how far they've come.
Beware linux zealots though. They're even more rabid than mac zealots.
