now i'm confused... the main article says that Linux-based OS's are not totally immune and that we should load our Linux boxes with anti-virus programs (which I immediately did after reading the article)... however, the last commentary (by WS) seems to suggest that NO, Linux-based OS's are, in fact, immune from viruses!
This newbie is thoroughly confused...
I, too, have left the side of my PC Case open for more than a year already to help in the ventilation. However, I placed the case away from where it will easily be touched by the person using it. So far, the only problem I've had with this set-up is the faster rate of "dustification" of my PC's innards. But that is something easily taken care of.
