The simple truth is that there is no such thing as a bullet proof box. Some
are better than others, some are downright difficult to crack. I myself am
using OBSD for my mail and web servers. NT is a joke security wise. Solaris
and Linux can be as secure if you want to work at it. One of the big keys to
security is to keep your software updated with the latest version/patches.
