From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

If you're going to be using it as a Plex server, aren't you going to need some sort of network connection anyways?
I think the premise was the plex server will be running off of wifi and they didn't think they would have wifi drivers available to them during install so they wanted to install hard wired.
No how wise it is to run a plex server off of wifi is another discussion all together but maybe for a different time.
