Heh: I've tried that multiple times, and I always end up with a big
old used system because that allows me to stuff lots of drives in the
main case.

Also what I found: homebrew (packaging framework) was helpful, but
overall not a solution for most things.

I'm most comfortable on debian and FreeBSD. I currently run one VPS of
each, and will probably start searching for another system to be
comfortable with now that debian will be switching to systemd. Not sure
what that'll look like yet, but perhaps something new will come along...
or I'll try Nevaeh again. ;)
