[QUOTE="Mad_Sunday, post: 1566846, member: 60371"] @ Frank Look mate your never going to win that argument by telling us about the 40 or so possible viruses that can effect Linux when there are over 60 THOUSAND than can infect a windows system. I'm not a gambler (you must be), you do the maths! Quote.. "There are about 60,000 viruses known for Windows, 40 or so for the Macintosh, about 5 for commercial Unix versions, and perhaps 40 for Linux. Most of the Windows viruses are not important, but many hundreds have caused widespread damage. Two or three of the Macintosh viruses were widespread enough to be of importance. [COLOR="Red"]None[/COLOR] of the Unix or Linux viruses became widespread - most were confined to the laboratory." From this site [url]http://www.theregister.co.uk/2003/10/06/linux_vs_windows_viruses/[/url] Just because we've managed to make the break, don't get all upset if you haven't. Pete [/QUOTE]
