The more I learn about Unix (I'm installing Linux on the new pooter)
the
less I like Windows and all of its applications. Did you know
Unix/Linux is
apparently immune to viruses?

Ummm...well, not quite. I haven't worked with UNIX for a while, maybe
there are more Windoze viruses than UNIX viruses nowadays, but _no_
operating system is immune to viruses. On a historical note, the
first virus ever written (i.e., the internet worm) was a UNIX virus.

P.S. I'd just like to echo Mr. Forrest's sentiments regarding
Microsloth's Windoze (NT=Not Tested? No Thanks?). Anyone know how to
set up a dual-boot UNIX/NT system? Email me at kmcgowan -at- peak -dot- org!
