-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Disclaimer: I do NOT want to start an OS holy war. 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'" Now, I don't believe this and was ahem, offended to say the least. My quesiton is, does anyone have any hard statistics on matters like this. I would like to have something well thought out to present to him. Opinions? PLEASE do not make a flame/holy war out of this post. I just want to know the facts on if there are any good stats and comparisons out there for me to reference.
