It is safe, and powerfull for almost all the network jobs that I can think of right now.
Linux is another good choice... however to keep it safe you need to update it every so often, per program. This can be a pain for a sys admins but not if you do some creative tricks.
But yes... FreeBSD would be my suggestion. The 4.9 release would be a good start.
i've heard (and believe) that openbsd is extremely secure. there web page says "only one remote hole in the default install, in more than 7 years." that's pretty damned good. they make security a priority.
Most of the Linux systems were out of date and in need of software patches... you have to keep on top of them or script kiddies will get you. Damn government appointed union workers just don't cut it sometime... gives Linux a bad name.

That said I would point out FreeBSD (www.freebsd.org).
