But it's not semantics.  Somebody brought up secure and
out-of-the-box being mutually exclusive in UNIX.  Someone
else pointed out OpenBSD, and you said OpenBSD is on the
CERT advisories.

Just because you are changing what we were talking about
doesn't make my point "just semantics".

Beyond which, how many web servers do you need on your
network?  Apache is included in the OpenBSD base install
but not turned on... do you turn it on on 99% of your
machines?
