[wplug] A little BSD/Linux history question

[Doug Green]

Looking at their websites (FreeBSD, OpenBSD), it seems like they 
emphasize security and stability "out of the box" more than the average 
Linux distro. Not to say you couldn't do this yourself (esp w/ LFS, 
Slack, and other distros that emphasize individual builds), but some of 
us (ahem!) would lean towards a turnkey solution rather than rolling 
our own and potentially missing something important. That seems like 
the biggie to me, but I can't imagine one being considered "better" 
than another... mileage will probably vary per individual.
