My point wasn't that the virus was common or that it was something to be
afraid of. I just found it interesting that it was first detected in
1996 (the same year that Karl started using Linux).
I don't understand the opposition to anti virus. What does it hurt to
have it? It will take a few cpu cycles and a little of bandwidth. The
other thing to note is that many of the viruses that affect Linux aren't
Linux specific. Attacks will/have come through Firefox, Open Office and
other multi-platforms. Instead of your system being killed like it would
were it running Windows it will only ruin your user account but as far
as I am concerned that will screw me just as much.

To be or not to be, that is the question
2b || !2b
(0b10)*(0b1100010) || !(0b10)*(0b1100010)
0b11000100 || !0b11000100
0b11000100 || 0b00111011
0b11111111
255, that is the answer.
