Why You Donât Need Anti-Virus Software For Linux
,----[ Quote ]
| You donât need anti-virus for Linux. Others in
| here will do a better job at explaining why
| this is, but in short, the OS has a big
| advantage here due to it being open source.
| The operating system is a product of crowd-
| sourcing, much in the same way as Wikipedia
| has been since it first showed up several
| years ago. And much like the highly-moderated
| articles of Wikipedia that require membership
| and has an approval process for changes made
| to locked articles, so to is a strict
| moderation that goes on with the source code
| for Linux before itâs allowed to become part
| of the official distribution. Everybody is out
| to identify possible flaws or weaknesses or
| bugs in the source code and itâs much easier
| for any single person to make a contribution
| because the OS and much of the software that
| runs on it is open-source.
