>From the reading that I have done, there is only one virus that has ever 
been detected and documented to hit Linux. The file system of Linux makes 
it just about impossible for a virus to function. Example is the I Love you 
virus that went out yesterday. I mainly targeted MS OS, but it would modify 
any JPG and various other files it could find. It really trashed our shared 
Novell file system through the clients, but the Linux boxes was not 
effected.
