Well, if *I* were a virus writer, I'd want to target linux because it's more of a challenge. The only reason I can see for writing viruses and whatnot is to improve one's knowledge of the systems. Then again, I would never do that to people, so I guess I don't have much insight into such a person's mentality. > Also, Linux users tend to be more technically minded and able to > correctly administer their own computers. This is still true, but as linux becomes more user friendly, more people are using linux with less technical knowledge or interest. -- monique Help us help you: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
