Who’s The Hardest BSD of Them All?

The mi2g Intelligence Unit, their goofy name previously unbeknownst to me, has "dubbed Mac OS X the “world’s safest operating system”":http://www.mi2g.net/cgi/mi2g/frameset.php?pageid=http%3A//www.mi2g.net/cgi/mi2g/press/190204_2.php, while getting in a few jabs at Linux’s security track record.

Meanwhile, OpenBSD seems to be paying more attention to niggling license details than security or performance, both of which have recently been called into question. I know I wouldn’t really think of running OpenBSD as a production server these days, save maybe as a firewall or IDS box. Given that I used to host this domain on an OpenBSD not three years ago, that’s kinda sad.
