Is FreeBSD so insecure that it must be patched every few days?  I hardly
ever see FreeBSD security issues on Bugtraq, and the ones I see often
have nothing to do with Net attacks.  A properly configured FreeBSD
server with no local logins should be quite secure.  The only problem
I've ever had resulted from a bug in Apache, and Apache obviously isn't
part of FreeBSD.
