I recommend to simply try it out, but try to use it for something actually useful to you, for example: * trial it on a desktop/laptop to do regular daily work tasks * use it to provide some new service on your home/office network, e.g. fileserver, DNS/web cache, Debian mirror * try it as the server for some new development/hobby project, e.g. using Apache/MySQL/PHP or alternatives and then let us know what problems you have, any important packages/features that are missing; report any bugs, or difficulties and share solutions for them if known. By doing the above, you can actually get some direct benefit from using it (if it works), we can make it more useful to people's real needs, and get lots of feedback from software and hardware testing. I was thinking there should be a page or whole section on the Debian Wiki describing use cases, success stories etc. There's a myth that GNU/kFreeBSD is only useful as a router or firewall OS; that's something it is indeed good at (and we should still mention it) but I hope we can list many other uses, with recommendations and create good documentation on how to do it.
