And despite the hyperventilating, linux is hardly a blip on the radar of constant malware attacks. I started using slackware almost twenty years ago (where did the time go?), and never looked back, I get a guilty private chuckle when window people lament over which anti-virus or malware app is the new rage. Windows is a virus people, deal with it.

Software is easy to deal with. People suck.

I started in the mid-nineties and I’ve been loving it more and more every year. One of the best features is that whenever (rarely) a security flaw is discovered, the coding community immediately begins working tirelessly to fix the problem and issue a patch as quickly as possible.

THE most secure OS out there, by far.

I’ve seen a lot of infected Windows systems. The internet is rife with malware, and a lot of it is being spread by hacked Linux servers. I’m starting to suspect a lot of that happens because the admins got sloppy, and the “It can’t happen to me because I’m running Linux.” attitude has a lot to do with it.
