blackhat101 Posted September 20, 2005 Report Share Posted September 20, 2005 (edited) I just downloaded and installed PC BSD and it runs kde 3.42 and its sweet. My question is this: Is BSD less vulnerable to hacking, viruses, penetration,etc, than linux?

SoulSe Posted September 20, 2005 Report Share Posted September 20, 2005 BSD is generally considered to be safer out-of-the-box than Linux. It has systems like ipfw (which Linux's iptables is based on AFAIK) and other neat security tricks. Some also argue that a sudo approach is safer than the general su approach, etc... At the end of the day though, Linux and BSD are both just as safe as you make them. I wouldn't consider one to be superior, but as I said, BSD is said to be generally safer out-of-the-box. *shrug* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
