why not freebsd? the freebsd project seem to focus exclusively on post-attack with jails and trustedbsd mac. fbsd has not implemented any of the modern exploit mitigation techniques. i mean, even os x has had full aslr since 2012 lol.
some years ago fbsd was forked to hardenedbsd which has aslr, mprotect restrictions, non-exec pages on cpus w/o NX, randomized lib loading order, etc. i guess the freebsd project is too busy fighting meritocracy cus none of it has been merged as far as i can tell.
as for linux, plenty has been written on linus' stance on what he considers to be a "security circus"; and the mantra on lkml is still that "a bug is a bug". just watch oss-sec and see distro people wading through kernel commit logs (hyperbole) cus sec-related bugs usually aren't reported downstream
