I have had a lot of = experience with Linux but have not learned a lot about FreeBSD yet and am working = on it. =20 Also, I have been watching the threads on some hackers breaking into someone's system through PHP and am wondering about how secure FreeBSD really is compared to various default installs of Linux. Not to start a comparison battle, but I just wanted to try to find out a little more = about the basic security of FreeBSD as we are looking to use it in a = production service. =20 Thanks, =20 --=20 Lonnie=20 =20
