Almost 2 decades ago, I maintained our company's self-hosted web server on FreeBSD/alpha. It ran a simple (thttpd) web sever. I remember looking through the logs, and seeing script-kiddie attack after attack fail due to running thttpd instead of apache, FreeBSD rather than Linux, and alpha rather than x86. I obviously kept the machine patched and up-to-date, but I think I probably could have left it unpatched, and it still would have been fine.
