In dutch we call this MUGGENZIFTEN wich translates as Sifting mosquito's. But it is nice to know though ;-) Point was that there was one guy asking can i be infected with a virus on my Linux/i386 box, while another one replied he couldn't because "for linux there is no such thing", probably works for the government.
As a matter of fact the number of viruses (mostly scripts) for unix/linux is growing, fortunatly much slower then for MS-W.

Well, I'd love to see you try to infect, say, an HP9845 with a virus. The entire OS is contained in ROM. (It isn't unique in that respect.)
