Ummm. Should I go with Ubuntu. I have kind of gotten use to Debian. Any other suggestions?
If its debian, stick with it as debian is great as a server... solid as hell.
BSD is great on servers too, in fact more stable then linux.

Ubuntu server like Ubuntu Desktop are based on Debian Linux so you should feel right at home for the most part.
Yea, I am looking into BSD now. It looks alot different.
