There's an old saying: "The least safe part of any car is the nut behind the wheel.". Both Linux and *BSD are quite secure ... if one takes the time to understand your security needs, investigates the tools necessary to address them, designs the solution correctly, and keeps everything up to date. If not, not. There really is no shortcut here. There are simple things one can do - like disabling unused services in inetd - but if one wants the real stuff (firewall, logging, secure sockets, fully encrypted remote access, intrusion detection and notification, et alia) then they should be prepared to do the work.
