Your whole email was good except for this line. How many times do I have
to say that I'm not looking for a guarantee before people will listen? I
said it right on the first email I sent, first paragraph. I spent a
whole pagragraph saying that the question is not "is Linux inmune to
viruses?" but "is Linux inhospitable to viruses?". I said that again
twice afterwards. This is the FOURTH time I have to say this. How
difficult is it for people to understand this? It's not a difficult
concept you know? I'm fully darn well aware that there isn't a piece of
conde on this side of the galaxy that is completely inmune to security
threats. There is no security system that can't be broken. The objective
of security is to raise the bar. To make it more difficult for security
breaches to occur and to minimize the damange when they do. And that is
what I've been seeking out here. Geez!
Daniel.
