I went to a Grateful Dead Concert and they played for SEVEN hours.  Great song.

You don't need any antivirus software.  Just do not login as 'root'.  
Set up a user account and always log in using that account.  Back up
your /home/user_name directory often.

There are 67 entries in Symantec's virus database for the searchword Linux.
The idea that Linux is immune is a pure fallacy.

Nada. Linux happens to be relatively impervious to virii. Just setup a
good firewall using iptables, and check http://www.linuxsecurity.com every
few days for the latest updates.

I think you might be confusing "virus" with "root-hack" or "worm".

Celine Tourlet a crit :

Some windows software runs on Linux via WINE. However, you
have to _explicitely_ run the software. The fact that you
may access stuff on your W2K drive does not mean it will
run on Linux. Therefore you are _safe_ from nimda and the
rest.

HTH.

... bacteriological warfare ... hard to believe we were once foolish
enough to play around with that.

One is attack on Linux itself which seems to be mercifully rare, at
least for now, so most of us choose to ignore it.

The second is attack on microsoft boxes which might access the net via a
Unix gateway.  Is there anything that that can scan mail queues  ( and
maybe interact with sendmail ? )  to keep an eye on mail that's passing
in and out of your site ?  That might have some value !

Cheers, J/.
