Well, there's Simile, but that's pretty harmless, and can only affect the infected user's home directory in any case. I'd caution against the kind of Linux advocacy that says "Linux is immune to all viruses", since it only takes one even slightly successful virus to make Windows users turn round and say "Nyeh nyeh, you get them too." Also remember that the average user doesn't know the difference between a virus, a trojan and a worm (hey we 'nix users invented worms before Windows even existed!). Sir Robin
