Coming from an IT department that likes Debian myself, I may be biased, but I think
my view isn't.  There may be reasons that the IT department like Debian.  I myself
think that Debian is much easier to get packages for, and to update, although I have
not tried out the BSD's, so I cannot say how any of them do their packing system.
I'm just concerned that maybe you should ask them what reasons they have for Debian,
because I think that it might get you off the ground faster, especially if they are
familiar with it. It will take time to learn the ins and outs of a new OS.  As a note
about the maturaty of the Linux networking stack, the 2.4 kernel is just around the
corner, and I know that this was one of the issues that they were addressing witht
the 2.4 development.
