What is Libertarian?

There's as good brief piece at the Institute for Humane Studies about what is Libertarian? It may have been there a while but I have only become aware of it since the Freedom Foundation put up a link. One definition given, and I like for its simplicity, is this;

Liberals favor government action to promote equality, whereas conservatives favor government action to promote order. Libertarians favor freedom and oppose government action to promote either equality or order.
