1) Viruses for linux are more difficult to write, but not impossible.
2) Viruses are primarily a protection racket. When the market for
linux grows large enough, expect to see viruses and guess what,

In a cluster of galaxies, one of many such clusters, there is a
galaxy. On the edge of this galaxy, is a star, one of millions of such
stars. Orbiting this star, is tiny ball of iron. On this tiny ball is
a very thin scum of lighter elements.
Some of which have delusions of grandeur.
