C'mmon, let's not turn this in to a distro/OS war. I have nothing 
against *BSDs, I certainly applaud the work of the OpenBSD team, and 
their apprach to security, But this has nothing to do with the OS. 
There certainly are specialized versions of Linux that are very secure, 
like NASA's version.

And I personally don't agree with many of Theo de Raadt's extreme 
ideas...

Agreed, even cracking needs a certain level of knowledge. Breaking the 
DRM of a music format is for example, cracking. These are just script 
kiddies.

PHP-Nuke is desined with insecurity in mind :-)
