I was a BSD admin for 4 years back in the early 00s after running Sun Solaris DNS servers for a well known domain registrar. Ran Web servers, and later firewalls using FreeBSD. While I really like BSD for a server, I've had terrible times with it on laptops. I've tried them all: Free, Net, Open, Ghost, and others that are no longer being developed. I've standardized on Debian over the years because it just works. I buy refurb Lenovo laptops from eBay for about $120. I would like to see BSD grow and become more popular on the desktop. For now, Debian is just super stable and good enough.
