On the one hand, security guidelines are fairly OS independent. Likewise, it helps whether it's self hosted or not.

On the other hand, I guessed most people would post Linux stuff, so I added FreeBSD content for those who want an alternative or a heterogeneous infrastructure.

Because if you want a secure server, you use something bad based, not Ubuntu or debian.
