The thing nobody has talked about yet is that with viruses coming out for Macs it won’t be long before there are viruses for unix. A very high percentage of the servers on the web are running a unix flavor. None of them are running any anti-virus software.

Unix is different from Windows and it’s disturbing coming from Linux variants like Ubuntu and others that are going to an Apple style. Hopefully Linus will continue to be himself.

Not really. Unlike Windows,where the system is root,Unix has the root user. Think a two lane path versus a 20 lane super highway. Servers get clogged up with windows garbage but Hello Bill Gates.

Back in the last millennium I used to dabble in the black arts. I'm shocked that the "script kiddies" are still around. I'm stone drunk and leaving after this post
