DesktopLinux.com's executive editor recently decided to retire Red Hat 7 after seven years of loyal service as his home LAN's firewall/router OS. This article chronicles his trials and tribulations as he presses "pure Debian" into service, first as a server and then as a Linux desktop. Read the complete tale here.

Debian is my server choice for most locations.
Although I've started using FreeBSD and I can tell you it's awesome, even at a terminal, it just feels so much more solid.
I like Debian for those times you need it up and running quickly, because it's all binary, very easy with apt-get (Which I think is the best package manager out there, I've always disliked rpm's, even with yum etc) to set it up quickly and it's solid as.
I'm really looking forward to Debian4 with all the huge updates, going to be great stuff.
