Wheezy kfreebsd amd64 is dandy for server and OK for some minor graphical desktop stuff (opengl is not in a good state right now, at least with nvidia hardware: nouveau is no-go due to not having kernel support and proprietary won't install). if you want zfs on debian (which is what I wanted) it's probably a better choice today than debian linux with zfs-on-linux. (at least, that's the call I made) There are some odd missing packages and problems, which I've filed a number of patches for (e.g., three I've done this year are to build valgrind; to improve gdb threads support; and to build mongodb) others have recently filled in another missing piece with jdk7 support and I generally get the sense that there is a core of smart people who are dedicated to kfreebsd. The idea that somehow users of non-linux kernels don't matter or don't even exist as debian users is one of the most frustrating bits of this whole thread. Jeff
