Really? Then who are buying all of those Linux antivirus software then? sigh Those are to protect WINDOWS boxes on the same network as the Linux box - if the network was all Linux then there would be no need for them... |

Not if you're not ignorant like you. Informed people know that all operating systems get security updates. Linux gets them much, much quicker. I've had three kernel updates on this Linux Mint install since I installed it last year. -- Alias |

Can't you come up with anything more recent? Like to list the vulnerabilities in XP? That's the same age... Odd, some would call Ubuntu a virus. As Linux fanatics convinced me to run Ubuntu Live. And they said don't worry, it won't harm your Windows install. As Linux won't touch it. As it runs totally in RAM and won't even look at the drive. Ok sounds good to me and I ran Ubuntu Live v8.xx and some things didn't work like the WiFi, webcam, and stuff. Ok that was fun. So I rebooted to Windows and it won't let me into the desktop. A window displayed said Windows Installer and nothing would work. Odd since I just ran Ubuntu Live, wouldn't you say? Restored Windows from a backup and it was running just fine. Say you don't think Linux users lied to me do you? Naw... Linux users never lie right? Well just in case, I ran Ubuntu Live again. Rebooted to Windows and lo and behold, Windows is screwed up again. But it can't be Linux right? Since it can't be Linux, I did it a third time. And as sure as the sun rises, it did it again. So every time I ran Ubuntu Live, it toasted my Windows install. And it turns out that Ubuntu Live actually does write to the Windows partition. And it looks for the Windows pagefile to use for itself. And if it doesn't find one (I didn't have one), Ubuntu gets mad and toasts your Windows install. I don't know Gordon? I believe some would classify that as a Windows virus. After all, it does fit under the definition of one anyway. ;-) -- Bill Gateway M465e ('06 era) Centrino Core Duo 1.83G - 2GB - Windows XP SP3 |
