As far as I know it's been done. The question isn't writing a virus for linux, but rather attacking linux. Pirus, ran on linux since linux comes bundled with PHP, as other script virii. Linux also supports a lot of scripting languages, unlike Windows which supports less (batch/js/vb/hta). This doesn't implying anything except that desktop linux doesn't yet have a wide user base to make it relevant to malware writes. On the other hand, linux servers are attacked a lot, and if memory serves me right, a lot more then Windows ones.
