I'm aware of Debian/kFreeBSD, which seems to be the best solution if I want to use Debian, but it does introduce some limitations, so I haven't decided on it (yet).You could consider it inside a VM (Xen, KVM or otherwise) with Linux on the "outside".
I have thought of that, but I'm keen to void unnecessary complexity if I can, particularly since I'm not really familiar with any of the virtualisation technologies that ship with Debian.
Thanks Kay
