Hmm - if you look at the number of web sites with security breeches, FreeBSD
with Apache ranks number 1 - that doesn't mean its the least secure set-up
nor the easiest to breech, it means in this case (since if you look closer
and way the number sites being hosted divided by the number of breeches , MS
comes out as the most insecure) that it is the most popular, serving far and
away more then any other combination.
I like sendmail.
