I'm curious about virii and Linux... Am I wrong to assume that Linux is not immune to virii (I don't even know if virii is a word - but it just sounds cool :) ? Obviously the security features of Linux can prevent some virii from affecting certain files on your system... but what about the boot sector? And what if you happen to be su'd or logged in as root when you get (and heaven forbid) execute an infected program?
Is there a need for virus scanning software on Linux? My guess is Linux isn't a targe right now because of it's lack of market share - but as more users realize that Linux is better than Windows (imho), I would imagine that virus software will start appearing in our beloved OS as well. -Jay
