Actually, no, he doesn't. While it's true that X11 does have security issues, nobody in his right mind would be running X11 on a server (particularly not on an internet-facing one), because this fact is already well-known. Besides, if X11 is the issue, the BSDs (or any other Unix flavor) would be affected just the same.
I'm new in security so I'm keen to take in as much information as possible, and trying not to be a one-eyed Linux user
Don't misunderstand. This isn't a debate pro-Linux or anti-BSD or something. I'm merely pointing out that Mr. Furman is spreading FUD, nothing more.
