I couldn't agree more. I never said OpenBSD was more secure than
Debian. I merely pointed out that I think their policy of not starting
services (perhaps I should qualify that as "services that are added
to the default base system") is a good policy.
The only reason I suggested that is because, IIRC, this thread started
with someone bashing M$ because they say its easy to administer their
products. I have heard a lot of advocacy for Debian based on ease
of use. That's the problem, it's too easy to put yourself in a bad
situation.
