I was just referring to the whole point of FreeBSD being THE server OS on X86 so it probably should be able to serve webpages (as that is the main job for a server in most people's view) better than almost anything else, no? > I mean I still have > a hard time grasping linux as a serious operating system when > little things like how "far" away localhost is keep coming to mind. Would you care to elaborate? > not to mention the little to no real auditing of code. ACK. Main reason we use FreeBSD. There are a number of nifty features I miss in it compared to Linux but still, the added security and the sane development model (as apposed to Linux which hasn't even got one) weigh this up. > Performance just isn't a big enough issue since there is not that > much of a gain or loss in one direction or another to be any cause > for alarm. You know it and I know it. But the press won't care. What do you think would happen if someone found a remote root hole in OpenBSD? Exactly.
