Just installed FreeBSD 7.1 on IBM thinkpad T40. So far I am loving it. Gnome running on it definitely looks more stable than debian.
Instead of iceweasel, you could actually run firefox. I have summarized some of my experiences here -

Only thing so far I seem to be missing is - lack of support for flash, so all flash based docs in firefox show blank. My main motivation is kernel development.
 
You can get flash working quite easily if you install the linux-firefox port and the linux flash player iirc.
