That depends entierly on the administrator. If you don't run any services all of them are pretty similar. If you do run services, you are generally exposed to the same vulnerabilities as the others. The default FreeBSD install is a little more liberal then OpenBSD and significantly less liberal then the commercial Linux distros, but all of them can be made more or less equivalently secure. -- Broks --=20 Any statement of the form "X is the one, true Y" is FALSE.
