i need debian for desktop and wed developer and web server and some small network,
why you choice bsd linux for network?

bst over linux? my quote was "serious work with the network stack". by this, i mean if you need to do live network layer analysis of gigabit traffic. and probably other things but doing packet capture and forward at high speed is where i know that there's a problem with linux's network stack.

if you're going to use one computer for everything (i wouldn't recommend that) i'd go with debian because of the web server factor. however, if you have multiple environments, i'd use ubuntu for the desktop, and a debian dev box (probably put svn on the desktop and have a nightly tarball put back on the dev box) and a debian server. there's no way in hell i'd even think about doing dev work on a server.

ps - don't top post.
