If you think your safe because you run Linux then please step away from
computers. My windows box at home has never been compromised or had
problems and obviously as a gaming box it see's a lot of patches/mods
downloaded. You could be running OpenBSD and still get caught out. The
amount of people that get caught out by such things as "Check the pics
that where uploaded of you, they are BADD!! etc etc and fall for it is
ridiculous.  Don't think that just running Linux makes you safe...
