Does Lindows run soley as root? I think I read somewhere that it did... In that case, yeah antivirus software would be a good idea.
Linux can be rooted, and if it's rooted it's easily infected. I'm curious as to the possible ways Linux can be rooted. Bad password, no password. Is there anyway to hash the password off of shadow?
