There aren't too many viruses for Amiga, either, I suppose, so let's all run Amiga servers! Seriously, the problems of server security are significantly different from those of desktop security. You can do all sorts of bad security things on Solaris or Linux with CF now, and OS X wouldn't be any different. Sure, the default install of Apache is more secure than the default install of IIS, but that doesn't have anything to do with OS X - you can just as easily run Apache on any current, commonly used server platform. If you do use IIS, which in my opinion is the best overall web server for Windows despite the security flaws in its default install, then you learn the simple procedures for securing IIS.
