Is FreeBSD more secureable than Linux for servers? Why or why not?
Is FreeBSD more secureable than Linux for webservers? Why or why not?
I didn't list OpenBSD because it's for single CPU systems only -- although I guess if one load balanced some clusered servers, you could include that too to compare. But basically, I'm wondering about BSD .vs Linux.
I know with Linux it depends on the distro -- so pick a good one to compare and/or contrast to FreeBSD.
Basically, if a person wants a server that's easier to secure against crackers, which should they choose and why? I know it depends on how the OS is configured on a server, but given that, which is more *securable* by a non guru -- and why? Are there any *definitive* step by step HOWTOs one can follow and have a very secure server with either OS?
No religious war post, please. Considered opinions -- especially based on experience, please.
Thanks!
