Re: Linux vs Windows Viruses

That's always the opinion I have - especially the part about Linspire (how it's insecure because everything is run from root).  Honestly, there's a lot of people I'd love to recommend Linspire to, but I don't for that reason alone.

Re: Linux vs Windows Viruses

speaking of linspire and running root, i was at Fry's (computer and electronic store) on saturday and saw a machine running linspire as root with "rm -rf /" entered in konsole, just waiting for someone to bump the enter key.
