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. 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.
