I know theres NetBSD, OpenBSD, FreeBSD, etc

I was wondering, whats the best BSD distro ?

I want to use it for all my work/office and other works that need security, since Ive heard that BSD distros were ultra secure.

thanks !

So why did you put the name "Linux" in the title if you wanted a BSD?

Anywho, if what you're looking for is security, use OpenBSD no questions asked... it's aim is the be the most secure operating system from the default install, and it truely is.

Just as an FYI, security is only as strong as the user's wits. You can be using OpenBSD and have a very secure system, but things like this can happen:
-User only runs as root (VERY BAD, can kill the system and open security holes)
-Weak password (having "password" as your password generally is not safe at all)
-Not keeping up with updates and patches

Remember that BSD is a UNIX, so flaws that are natural to UNIX systems also apply to BSDs, Linux, etc.

IMHO I'd just use a good Linux distro and have a very strong hardware firewall. Gives those old 486s a use. ;)
