"And to the poster who said 'no virus worries' on the Linux box-can you tell me which flavour of 'nix you have that has no virus worries?"

I'm not the one who made the comment but the comment is true. Pick any flavor Linux and you should have no "virus" worries. I'm not saying that Linux is free from vulnerabilities but "virus" is not synonymous with "vulnerability" and it is not synonymous with "worm". The antivirus venders over the last several years have tried to broaden the term to mean more than it does. I have over 20 years of UNIX experience and have been working heavily with Linux from its birth and I have yet to see or hear of a "Linux" "virus" that actually makes it beyond the lab.
