Spot on! Telling users that Linux is immune to viruses does a disservice. There already are Linux viruses in use, most target servers but user space is just as vulnerable.
A virus on Linux will most likely only effect the user it is executed, but if you're that user and its your files that are trashed or posted to alt.test then you aren't going to care much what OS you are running.<nobr> <wbr></nobr>.cp
