I would take this article with a really BIG grain of salt, considering
the fact that it is written by an apple employee. Talk about biased

I think you underestimate virus writers, if Linux becomes very popular

That have access to pre-rolled virus and worm scripts. Add a poor
security model and you have an exploit. On UNIX, the same kids
usually have to work by first principles and they have neither

Apple designed OS written by Apple engineers in house while OSX
of course is based on
If you are running MacOS9, you can forget virii to all intents ... they
basically don't exist.
The purist will tell you that there are some, but I've not seen a Mac
virus on one of my boxen for over ten years, and as I've said previously,
several of them are running on the net 24/7.

Yeah, in as much that I set it up on my XBox (running

fstab doesn't give you the layout of a disk.. try fdisk,
but be careful: read the help and do not save any configurations
to the hard drive. e.g.
$ su
