As far as I'm concerned, the most identifiable characteristic of Debian is the packaging system, dpkg/apt. I've used FreeBSD occasionally, and that's what I always end up missing about Debian. I did consider going with Nexenta or Debian GNU/kFreeBSD, but whatever, ZoL works well enough. :)

FreeBSD 10 has switched to a new package manager, so it might be worth giving it another look next time you're bored and fancy trying something new.

I can understand your preference though. I'm not a fan of apt much personally, but pacman is one of the reasons I've stuck with ArchLinux over the years - despite it's faults :)

I'll keep that in mind; I do sometimes find myself with some time to play with things. :)
