FreeBSD does not have a focus on security[0]. Indeed, the defaults are notoriously insecure. There was a textfile floating around on how to bring it up to some standard but it eludes me. So it’s a low bar, but freebsd is great under low memory conditions, it has a rock solid filesystem baked in that is gold-supported, one of the best tracing tools known to mankind and very clear documentation.

That’s the power of freebsd. Not security.

(The referenced document is authored by an OpenBSD developer with points to score and an axe to grind; probably best to learn what lessons you can from it, but don't take it as some objective truth about the world.)

As I've said elsewhere, that document is a combination of useful tidbits, outdated information, and unactionable (and often incorrect) commentary. As long as you can identify the useful bits and ignore the rest it might help you.
