Linux infection proves Windows malware monopoly is over

[Edward Craig]

I've always held the opinion that no distribution lacking at least 20%
marketshare needs worry about malware. It has worked for me since I opted to
bypass upgrading to Windows 95. Maybe I'm missing something vital by my
oblivion to the viruses, adware and such. I suspect it's opportunity to buy
Symatec or the like.

Well, with the reports of remote root exploits of sendmail and BIND
hitting zero lately, I guess I have a good chance of hosts with a
certain range of services making my statement stand.

But, of course, being able to drop something in the hope of it being run
as root does count I guess. I wonder what the current state of affairs
with regards to buffer overruns and the like...

/me shrugs. I am sure someone will come out with references to the
contrary if I made a wrong assertion.

Feel free to prove me wrong old chap.
