Web server of anything outside of a firewall == OpenBSD
Why OpenBSD? It doesn't even have a mature firewalling system at the momement, let alone an easy to use isakmp daemon. Oh, and they've also dropped qmail, djbdns, publicfile, as well as ipf.
Even Linux has security-orientated code audits performed on it now. So how is it more secure/a better choice?
It's hellishly slow on most low spec stuff that you would normally love to use as a dedicated firewall/small webserver. A p100 with 8 megs of ram crawls under openbsd. The task scheduler pretty crappy. The same box flies under NetBSD. Oh, and NetBSD runs under about 44 architectures.
