===
There is an abundance of server software (''cf. [[client–server model]]'') supporting various [[communications protocol]]s, such as e.g. [[HTTP]] (web server), [[SMTP]] (mail transfer agents), [[POP3]] and [[IMAP]] (e-mail server), [[Lightweight Directory Access Protocol|LDAP]], [[Server Message Block|SMB/CIFS]] ([[Samba (software)|Samba]]), [[Simple Network Management Protocol|SNMP]] (for [[system monitor|system]] and [[network monitoring]]), [[Session Initiation Protocol|SIP]], various [[routing protocol]]s that runs, partially exclusively, on top of the Linux kernel.
Line 34:
The anonymity routing solution [[Tor (anonymity network)|Tor]] is cross-platform and not exclusive to Linux.

Components of the Linux kernel, like e.g. [[Logical Volume Manager (Linux)|LVM]], are well suited to support [[computer cluster]]s. There is also software for the management of clusters, e.g. [[Pacemaker (software)|Pacemaker]], [[Linux-HA]], [[Distributed Replicated Block Device|DRBD]] or [[Ganeti]].
