You typed "more" where I think you meant "less".

Linux holes are far more useful to exploit than say, FreeBSD holes,
simply because there's far more Linux out there.

And I dare say, Linux is also a bit leakier, unless you're running
the almost useless SELinux.

See OpenBSD's completely sane claim of having had only two (three?)
remote exploits in over a decade.  The average time between remote
exploits in Linux is measured in months.
