> FreeBSD has for years had some features that are only now reaching 'mainstream' popularity It's also lacking a bunch of features that reached "mainstream popularity" a long time ago. Example: ASLR, the most important exploit mitigation technique - 2001 - PaX Linux - 2003 - OpenBSD - 2005 - Upstream Linux - 2007 - Windows - 2007 - OS X - 2011 - iOS - 2016 - NetBSD FreeBSD is still lacking ASLR support despite a number of attempts and an actively maintained fork. Linux even has Kernel ASLR (even though its effectiveness is debatable and it's much better with the Grsecurity patchset). I'm a FreeBSD user and run it on a number of firewalls, but FreeBSDs approach at security worries me and I consider porting everything to OpenBSD or Linux. It did not even have signed packages until recently!
