I should say you'll never use another non-Debian based OS. I was a hard core Red Hat fan for about 4years and when Sarge was released I decided to try it out. The package management, sheer number of packages available and the over all attention to detail with those packages are really what sets Debian apart. The thing that sets Debian apart from say an Ubuntu based server is that having the new version of a software package (unless you need specific functionality from that newer version) is NOT a large priority in an enterprise environment. You want stability, fewer package updates (because of bugs and security issues) and knowing that things are just going to work when an update is needed. Ubuntu is a great desktop but I wouldn't want to have to update my servers as much as I do my desktop.
