I never understand these questions, or these answers. "The security of
your system is entirely dependant on the ability of the administrator to
secure and maintain that system". *BSD is no more secure than any Linux
distro, in the hands of the right person. In the hands of the wrong
person any Linux box, just like a *BSD box, or any other *nix box, is a
security compromise waiting to happen.

DISCLAIMER: I LIKE Linux, I LIKE *BSD, I LIKE Solaris. Worked with them
all, think they are all great. I DON'T like Windows (my parents raised
me proper see ...).
