It could be a FUD.. If we shut off all ports and run as an normal user for day to day activities and use no-script in firefox..and all with no flash/pdf or java plugins..and SElinux on ..its nearly impossible to get in.. But security is a process not a product..But virus in linux is a big FUD..as of now..may be lazy guys who run as root for browsing/net access..they are asking for it..!! i don't buy it unless i am personally hit..
