Look, even "out of the box" or "brownbag" - literally any linux distro
upon initial installation and configuration (granted that passwords HAVE
been put in place) is going to be able to sit nicely without very many
issues as opposed to a Windows installation "brownbag" - the Win box is
going to get hit FIRST TIME SURFING with either adware or spyware -
irregardless of what or where the user surfs to - but that cannot happen
on a linux box.

And we've got to clarify some things - for Windows, it's viruses,
trojans, adware and spyware. For linux/unix, it's trojans.
