I saw an article in Internet magazine for BSD's Internet server in a box. 
I was wondering how this would compare to Linux for an internet server. I 
will be running this on an Acer Altos V7000 Pentium 100. My priorities 
are as follows;

1. Reliability
2. Quality (Im not interested in having to compile/modify the operating 
system)
3. Security
4. Documentation
5. Compatibility (with a wide range of hardware, Intelligent Serial 
cards, ISDN Ta's etc)
6. Compiler, can MUD code that works under Linux be run under BSD ?
7. Security.

THanks in advance for any help or comments you can offer.
