There's a Debian BSD port too: https://wiki.debian.org/Debian_GNU/kFreeBSD And Arch Linux provides a FreeBSD port like approach: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_Build_System I made bad experiences with kFreeBSD. My "main" distro is Arch Linux. I prefer Arch over Debian regarding to my exotic need, audio production and the license policy of Debian, e.g. Linuxsampler doesn't fit to Debian's policy regarding to it's license. IOW awesome software often needs to be compiled by your own for Debian and it could become an issue, when using Debian stable. Debian Linux is closer to FreeBSD (I also have a FreeBSD install), than Arch Linux is, since Arch comes with sytemd. I suspect that Debian will drop init scripts too. For servers likely Debian stable is the best way to go, but I don't have experiences with this and if you need to compile software from upstream you anyway need to switch to testing or unstable.
