RE: [Scottish] I'm astonished!
I don't think the opinions of some Russian virus writer is really going to affect the course of Linux. Personally I couldn't care less whether he wrote it because of the current Linux/SCO affair or not. As for the BBC article, I hardly think they are a credible source for reliable news. Give me a break. they ARE the news 90% of the time. Even if the virus writer is half human half penguin, I know I'll sleep okay tonight. Scott. Don't know about the rest of you, but I would never have thought that the makers of Mydoom were targeting SCO due to the current litigation.
