My Linux computers have been running without any virus protection
since RH5.2. How long is that, 10 years? I don't know.
As far as I know I have never had an infection.
I can't comment on Windoze. At least without using profanity...

Some Background: I use a wireless share for my connection for my web
access. I pay my house mate to be part of his network, so this is not
road warring! I am on the edge of the wireless router range, so the
signal is weak to begin with and drops out frequently complicating my
wireless technical development. I have setup a test station that is
much closer to the router, but its cold in the garage, if you know what
I mean!
Given that I don't know much about wireless accept what I have learned
from trial and error, it has been rough to get to a Linux implementation
of wireless networking. At present I am still using windows. Frankly,
I just kept giving up too easily and never really tried to get things
running, as other work has take priority.
Here is my question: should I stop worrying about virus protection and
make implementing Linux wireless my top priority, because virus threats
are low under Linux; Therefore, would I be better off running Linux,
with no virus protection, then to keep working with windows and outdated
AVG software?
