Chalu--

Any reason why you included the text of the original message twice?

Not to start a holy war, but more as an observation.

Perhaps you have a valid point, but you have not demonstrated it here. All 
recent OpenSSL vulnerabilities have affected all platforms using OpenSSL, 
this includes *BSD.

I think what you *really* meant to say was "...the feeling <Insert Distro 
Here> is less secure." Linux is a *kenerl* nothing more. What various people 
do to package that kernel is left to that group and those who choose to use 
it. Also, you don't mention *which* flavor of BSD you are speaking of...

I do find it very interesting that Yahoo! is moving more and more towards 
Linux based machines (For those who care, Linux rocks BSD for running MySQL) 
for many of the reasons you give for liking *BSD.
