• By Robin 'Roblimo' Miller - "Where do I get Linux?" is one of the most frequent questions we get through our editors@linux.com email address. An excellent answer I think we'll be giving in the future is, "From LinuxISO.org." Assuming the site survives, that is.

Linux antivirus software?
http://newsvac.newsforge.com/article.pl?sid=03/04/18/1534242

    It's an insurance company's dream: Sell policies for something so     unlikely to occur that you'll get to scoop up premiums and never have     to pay out. That's pretty much what's going on with companies selling     antivirus products for Linux. Since there are so few Linux viruses in     the wild, who knows if the products actually work?

http://newsvac.newsforge.com/article.pl?sid=03/04/18/1447237
