Debian is currently the fastest growing Linux distribution for web servers, with more than 1.2 million active sites in December. Debian 3.1 was declared stable in July and it appears that both the anticipation of this release becoming stable, and the release itself, have generated new interest in Debian, after some years where it had lagged behind its more active rivals. This growth is particularly noticeable at some of the larger central European hosting locations, including Komplex, Lycos Europe, Proxad and Deutsche Telecom.

A couple of things Anonymous,
1) Debian isn't dead. There are more distro's based on debian than any other distro. Something like 128 distro's. It well out paces other distro's. Debian is an excellent distro.
2) *BSD's are not dead. They are all quite alive. The *BSD is dying (so called) joke is old and dates back to the early 90's; and it isn't funny. The *BSD are excellent *nix replacements.
Give debian or the *BSD's a chance and choose the one that suits your needs.
Disclaimer: I am a *BSD user as well as a debian user.
