Yeah--his terminology is wrong, but it's still valid that malware can corrupt your linux machine.

Especially if the user is experiencing ID-10-T issues.

The warning is appreciated, but no one on my email list runs Linux, so even if I was fooled by such an email (unlikely, but you never know) I’d be a sort of genetic deadend for such a ‘virus’.

That said, I often check with family or friends who send me unexpected attachments before opening them.

...IF you are running KDE or Gnome, and IF you open an attachment, and IF you have Python installed, and IF the Moon is in the 7th House, and IF...

Honestly, if someone opens an attachment that they aren't sure of, regardless of their OS, they deserve to be walloped by malware/virus/trojan, and a frying pan to the head!

Thats like saying fords are vulnerable because if you go into a wall at 100mph without your seat belt you can get hurt... Thats true of *any* car..
