'lo folks  :-)

I'm using OpenBSD as my home gateway and I was wondering :
is an OpenBSD box really safer than a FreeBSD one if your configure things (like inetd, ipf, ...) the same way ?

if not, what's the point in using Open rather Free for a Gateway/Firewall/DNS cache/DHCPd ?

thnX for answers

software is like sex : it's better when it's free :P
