A few months ago I read how you couldn't get viruses in WINE. I just experienced the exact opposite the other night, and it took me a lot of time to reinstall everything. A sign that WINE is getting closer to Windows is when a virus actually loads, and then it runs without crashing. I inadvertantly installed the virus trying to get a no-cd patch for Homeworld Cataclysm.
WINE and viruses is a new thing because usually the virus installer would just crash. There is still one advantage over Microsoft Windows and that is that all of the personal data isn't lost, and also one command can erase the user WINE install since there are two parts to a WINE install. :) .-----------------------------------. | This has been a P.L.U.G. mailing. | | Don't Fear the Penguin. | | IRC: #utah at irc.freenode.net | `-----------------------------------'
