Debian, Ubuntu, and Free Software?

As you can tell (from my Profile [in "About"]), I’m (or was) an avid Debian fan as it encompasses most ideals for easy user maintenance and usability. This includes a extremely low degree of breakage during upgrades and that –in terms of stability– out performs the major commercial OSes I’ve tried. Apt-get goes beyond my expectations and in my personal experience and those of my colleagues, out performs YUM in terms of speed and dependency conflicts. Of course, apt-get front-ends take this a step forward for the GUI dependent user. Of course, there were times when aspects of Debian were not user friendly such as when I first installed Debian it was about a 40? step process. I remember staying up to 3 or 4 a.m. doing these installs. A BSD user might laugh, but I think of Debian as being somewhat comparable to NetBSD and FreeBSD mixed. I mean it supports many platforms, weeding out bugs in the process, only moving forward only when every platform “just works”, and allows easy maintenance and use such as FBSD offers (except firewall configuration).
