> I had a guy tonight tell me he's putting Solaris on his SMP x86 server > because "it has far less exploits in the last 5 years than FreeBSD and > that FreeBSD 'does not announce their security holes'" I think this is a rather unsupportable statement and would be very curious to know where this guy gets his statistics from. Remember, as the guy making such broad claims, it's up to him to cite his sources and support his assertions, not the other way around. Being required to accept such statements without supporting evidence makes you equally susceptible to claims that Elvis wrote 73% of the kernel while "channeling" through several members of the CSRG and it's up to you to prove otherwise if you want to dispute the point. :-) - Jordan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-advocacy" in the body of the message
