OK, so this list is small and mostly worms which aren't strictly virii,
but still... they do exist. Most people tend to lump worms in with
virii, and there's been a number of remote exploits of various things
that happen to run on Linux. Just check the RISKS list every week.
Still, in general the risk is very slight due to modern distros being
locked down out of the box, (no unecessary services running, a firewall
config in place etc).
Not like the 15-30 min on average it takes an unpatched and unfirewalled
windows machine to become compromised. At least XP SP2 is better in this
regard than previous offerings.
But I digress.
