While Gary's point is well taken, other virii/worms attack
vulnerabilities in the Windows OS.  To date, there is only one virus
written for Linux in a lab and none in the wild.  There have been a few
worms, but anyone who regularly updates/patches their OS (an automated
process for many Linux distributions) was immune to them as well.  For
those who do not like shelling out to Microsoft, Linux *may* be a viable
alternative.  (NOTE the emphasis on *may*.  Linux is not for everyone.)

All the best,
Caity
