Agreed, a well built NT box is not more secure than a poorly built BSD
one.  FreeBSD is more stable than any NT box using a straight-from-cd
configuration and the GENERIC kernel.  To make it less secure you would
have to mess around with a lot of the FreeBSD and it's programs' source
code and intentionally make it less secure.  Also NT' cannot manage any
badnwidth, which is why, Hotmail is owned by microsoft, yet runs apache.
The immense amount of users that lands on hotmail daily is nto enough for
MS Backoffice to handle. 

Now that I got that out!
