I believe the XFS you are speaking of is the X Font Server. Not a file
system. Redhat does use ext2, though I have heard good and bad about
ext3.

I can't say as I agree... I've setup several servers on RH, for different
purposes of course, but none of them too more than, I'd say 2 hours for
the partitionaing, OS install, and configure of base servers, everything.
As far as securing it, I simply use a decent firewall (modified v. of
rc.firewall) and portsentry. That's all.

I so far have not had much luck with FreeBSD, it has fought with me all
the way. Consequently, I don't have a BSD box running right now. The
only complaint I really have with it, since every OS has it's little
quirks, is that it does not seem to be quite up to date with hardware.
Scream and yell... yeah I know it's way off topic.
