Actually out of the three BSDs, I didn't install FreeBSD. I was surprised
that when I dropped by my high school to give a presentation to the high
school students about Seneca's programs, Linux, etc, two of the computer
science groups were presenting Redhat Linux 9.0, and the other one
FreeBSD.  Man, was I impressed.

The teacher still credits me for being the first one to install Linux
(Redhat 6.2 at the time) in the school. Although I have followers now. He
was nice enough to let me clean one of the partitions, so I could have
installed Linux on it. I set up the computer as a dual boot system. >;o

I didn't hear about KRUD, but I remember looking at this "Securing Redhat 
6.2" document, which was about 300-400 pages, so I can imagine those guys 
put a lot of work on it.
