If you’re a masochist, and you really like that raw, and to the bone *nix experience then just install freebsd

FreeBSD, keeping sysadmins in protected jobs for 10 releases, and over 2 decades.

It is raw. Fucking raw. That being said, netgraph, and mpd5 absolutely rocks. Now if only Debian/kFreeBSD can get to a usable state then I’d switch for many server things.
