Is Linux Safe?
Follow Discussion
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?
