And to all the nay-sayers that viruses in Windows exist only because it is
popular, read the fine print. Unix-like operating systems have been around
for decades now. The unix environment and architecture is much older that
Windoze offers. So theoretically, there should be more virii and exploits
in
the GNU/Linux world isn't it? The reason why this doesn't happen is because
of something we call "Architecture".
Plus, the source code for Linux kernel and GNU apps have been around for
atleast a decade. When you have the source code it's easier to write
exploits, virii but it just doesn't seem so with GNU/Linux ;)
