one big puzzle piece.
at this point I'm personally more interested what others think about Mac OSX 
security history ranking among common OSs.
without using it or having any relationship to apple I've placed it no2 after 
OBSD.
If that's ok it's an amazing example that even a desktop system with some 
desktop market share (more than linux) can be effectively secure without 
loosing functionality etc.

some comments?
thanks
