OS to replace FreeBSD

[Fongaboo]

I see there have been a ton of responses to this already. I could be wrong, but 
I'm going to assume most of it is OS-wars. I don't have time to pour through 
it all. If I'm off-base and out of context, please forgive me. But wanted 
to offer my experience:

After nearly two decades of self-hosting DNS/mail/web on a FreeBSD colo, I 
decided I couldn't give FreeBSD the focus and energy it needs to be properly 
maintained.

I've found that Debian was the most comfortable to transition to and is a bit 
more painless to keep updated and patched. I've just completed a Debian box 
running NSD, unbound, Apache, Postfix, Dovecot, Postfixadmin & Roundcube.

If you want to email me directly, I documented the whole process. I'm willing 
to share my walkthroughs.
