I've been running Linux as my main OS for over 6 years and OS/2 for 10 more before that. Viruses are extremely unlikely on both platforms, simply due to the design of the operating system, something that's lacking in Windows. With OS/2, as with Linux, about the only way for a virus to take hold is via the boot sector. There are other mechanisms on both, that make life difficult for a virus. -- Use OpenOffice.org <http://www.openoffice.org> --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
