I see there have been a ton of responses to this already. I could be wrong, but I'm going to assume most of it is OS-wars. I don't have time to pour through it all. If I'm off-base and out of context, please forgive me. But wanted to offer my experience: After nearly two decades of self-hosting DNS/mail/web on a FreeBSD colo, I decided I couldn't give FreeBSD the focus and energy it needs to be properly maintained. I've found that Debian was the most comfortable to transition to and is a bit more painless to keep updated and patched. I've just completed a Debian box running NSD, unbound, Apache, Postfix, Dovecot, Postfixadmin & Roundcube. If you want to email me directly, I documented the whole process. I'm willing to share my walkthroughs. Fong On Fri, 19 Mar 2021, Jerry wrote: > With the soon-to-be release of version 13 of FreeBSD and the EOL of > FreeBSD 11.x, I will need to invest in a new OS.
