What I don’t like about Linux, is every time you want to access something on the drive or even do updates, you have to put in your password.

Too much of a pain for me. So I just run WinXP.

Uh, that password prompting is what keeps your system from getting p0wned by viruses/trojans/worms.

Umm.. no it doesn’t.

It’s the fact that Linux is based on the UNIX system and most ‘hackers’ can’t be bothered with hacking a system that hardly anyone uses.

When Linux’s market share gets above 10%, then maybe you’ll see more hackers.

Until then, having no password isn’t going to open it up to any viruses, because there aren’t any. YET!

And please don’t lecture me about password and viruses.

I was programming computers long before Windows, on DOS and CP/M, MP/M based machines and when ‘modems’ were nothing more that ‘Acoustic couplers’ you put your phone receiver on.

I’m not a neophyte when it comes to computers.
