>From how i look at it, it does not necessary have to have anything to do with application strenghts/weaknesses. It's the way that you identify executables in the OS. Imagine what a Linux user would have to do to get infected by a virus that spreads by email... he would have to a) save the file on his drive b) give it exetutable persmissions c) intentionally run it. And even then, the virus could infect only the user files, because it would be ran as a process started by the given user. So unless this action is taken by root, i think that the issue linux and viruses is not an issue... -- GPG public keys available at pgp.mit.edu
