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.

I'm making a home server and I wonder if two people can connect through ssh to the same user at the same time.

Yes, in a way that's pretty much how having multiple local terminals work as well. For ssh there is no difference there, you can have multiple logins with the same credentials even from different remote locations.
