one can also consider freebsd as a "intemediate step" between debian and
OBSD. As already said, all depends upon the software which must be used.
For example, I'm waiting for debian on freebsd kernel to be released to
do a migration of linux servers. On my workstations I am personally
bound to linux which is the only kernel which treats graphic consoles
and realtime the way I need, but fortunately debian stable and oldstable
is sufficient for my old hardware.
