Uhh... What's their alternative? Linux easily tops FreeBSD on *nix advisories, anything MS-based blows their theory out the door. About the only stuff better would be perhaps NetBSD, and for sure OpenBSD. That's either a line of BS, or they hired some linux-only admin who is afraid of anything BSD and just wants to get rid of it. At least IMHO. Security is not a major problem on FreeBSD however, at least for an admin with half a brain. -rf On 30 Sep 2002, Kenneth P.
