If you are switching to a BSD for security reasons, why FreeBSD? Isn't OpenBSD the super secure one? Sorry, it's been a while since I've looked at those projects

The person suggesting FreeBSD is a FreeBSD developer (Colin Percival - actually according to Wikipedia FreeBSD engineering lead), would be weird for him to suggest openbsd.

		Also hilarious to see Drew Houston responding a bit later on the same thread: > we're in a similar space -- http://www.getdropbox.com (and part of the yc summer 07 program) basically, sync and backup done right (but for windows and os x). i had the same frustrations as you with existing solutions. > let me know if it's something you're interested in, or if you want to chat about it sometime. >drew (at getdropbox.com)

I haven't switched to BSD but I've been thinking about it for a while. I just saw Vultr has both FreeBSD and OpenBSD!
