Is Linux Safe?

Posted by Renk81 on Aug 15, 2011

I've heard the reviews/rumors, and I am prone to believe them. Linux is less prone to viruses than a windows based system. But there continue to be skeptics.

So, does any one out there have any valid proof of a Linux attack, or proof of its durability against viruses/malware?

If you administer Windows right the chance of getting an infection or crash your system is no bigger than crashing a linux system because you updated with bad drivers or the new kernel doesn`t recognize the shared memory of your integrated GPU...I`ve stumbled upon epic crashes on linux systems caused by inexperienced users...
