Ok, so maybe we should steer this discussion towards the distro wars 
instead...

Actually, In my job for the ISP, we use FreeBSD (my choice - being CTO 
has it's advantages), but we're mainly just running mail and web, dns, 
and a few other servers.  In fact, we don't have a single Windows box on 
the server side.   Lots of XP on the desktop though.   We do have some 
CentOS penguins running as well for Asterisk.

In my experimenting on the Linux desktop side, I've always just run 
ubuntu, ever since I started using it as a result of it coming "out of 
the box" with EMC2...  I really like how it just installs and works on 
most hardware.   I also like wubi to get it going on a windows box.   
But I also haven't been paying attention to the other distros either 
since I discovered ubuntu.

So, tell me about the out-of-the-box debian experience...
