First, these types of articles (generally) have nothing to do
with making a fair compairison. They are made up by marketing
guys for marketing reasons.

Second, It just goes to show that an OS that doesn't ship
with a bunch of extra fluff that most people aren't going to
need anyway is always the best choice.  That was one of the
first things that attracted me to OpenBSD.  I remember saying
to myself "What? You have to enable the web server?  It isn't
on right out of the box?  WOW! What a concept!"  Needless to 
say, I threw away my Red Hat CDs and haven't looked back.
