Hmm, well, there'll have to be a fundamental shift in the way Linux works, first, before a *virus* can do something. Being widely targeted doesn't mean a thing, being protected by something with the tensile strength of a paper bag (Windows) is the problem. That's a problem Linux doesn't have. Even if someone does produce an as-stupid-as-Windows distribution of Linux, only the idiots who use it will be in trouble. The rest of us with more sense will use other distributions, to which feeble attempts at penetration are just water of a duck's back. This's all just snakeoil salesmanship. -- Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored. I read messages from the public lists.
