And the reason I like Linux... is that (for now, repeat: for now) Linux doesn't need to be fortified like Fort Knox like Windows.
YES ! I KNOW !
"It's because it isn't targeted like Windows !"
But that is a big reason for me. I just want to do things, get things done. And gaming isn't one of them for me. Not that it makes me any "better", I just am content with not having to deal with viruses every other day.
And yes, I have always used AVG, and Spybot and all for fighting various malware, but it is just nice to have all that free stuff available as well.
EDIT: I will be trying another Unix variation, FreeBSD per Saxon's suggestion, sounds like a winner to me.
