No test has been carried out to prove this though." Every offence to the person which said this, but they are not the best admin ever, though they like to think they are (the worst kind I think) Can anyone shed any light, the reason I ask is we where debating about a network and he said OpenBSD on the network (routers firewall etc) and FreeBSD as the app servers (mail, files etc etc), which I can see makes sense.but without having evidence it's pointless making a claim. Thanks :-)
