Linux = Windows anti-virus? Not!

,----[ Quote ]
| Recently, I've come across a few 
| interesting, yet misleading articles 
| debating the pros and cons, mostly pros, of 
| using this or that Linux distribution as 
| the ultimate solution to Windows security 
| problems, including frequent malware 
| infections and reinfections and other 
| related issues. While the overall 
| conclusion might be correct, the specific 
| analogies used to prove the point and bring 
| you to said conclusion are most erroneous.

Security: FOSS/CSS Updates - Are They Worth Anything?

,----[ Quote ]
| It appears from my experience that the
| majority of non-technical end-users who
| end up with infected systems fall into the
| first category. The second category is a
| smaller group that have just been lucky to
| not yet have an infected PC. These two
| categories of users are almost all
| Microsoft operating system users. The
| latter two categories are the small group
| of users that are more technical and/or
| security conscious. The more security
| conscious but non-technical are usually
| those who have had to deal with a prior PC
| infection. The latter two categories
| rarely or never see an infection. The Open
| Source community of Linux users is
| generally more technical at this point and
| thus more likely to take updates
| seriously.
