Absolutely. Not just due to OpenBSD's security positioning, but
moreso from network diversity. Windows is its own world. But if
you're a Unix admin there's no reason Linux should be deployed
20x more often than [Free/Open]BSD. It's ridiculously counter
to meeting diversity goals, especially with bandwith weighting
if one platform is getting grossly disproportionate traffic than another.
Just pick one of the two BSD's and run it instead. FreeBSD
in particular is well suited to the OS and network needs of Tor.
And knowing how to admin more Unixes will serve any admin well.

1593 Windows
 173 FreeBSD

  44 OpenBSD
