From: "Amol Hatwar" amol@hatwar.org And to all the nay-sayers that viruses in Windows exist only because it is popular, read the fine print. Unix-like operating systems have been around for decades now. The unix environment and architecture is much older that Windoze offers. So theoretically, there should be more virii and exploits in the GNU/Linux world isn't it? The reason why this doesn't happen is because of something we call "Architecture".
Plus, the source code for Linux kernel and GNU apps have been around for atleast a decade. When you have the source code it's easier to write exploits, virii but it just doesn't seem so with GNU/Linux ;)
