As others have said, the security of a system is more a function of the
admin running it than anything else... A great admin running Windows
2000 is by far better off than a complete moron running OpenBSD... Also,
don't put too much weight into the Orange Book rating of a system as it
does not take the networking functionality into account when rating the
system... Not to mention, those ratings are dependent on certain
configurations that you will most likely not adopt...
For myself, I choose OpenBSD for all of my critical servers....

thanks,
shawn
