OMG this is so funny you guys really do not know how to read do you LOL. You keep going on about Linux servers, that is not what this was about to begin with. It was about Linux for the desktop. Additionally, as I mentioned Server attacks are not successful for the most part and are not gone after becuase most are properly maintained as is not the case with most desktops.
I have been running a Windows Vista 64x machine on the same install for two years with no malware and no virus and it runs just as fast as the day I built it. Why? you ask? Ok I'll tell you, because I know how to patch it and keep my AV and Spyware up to date. However; this is not the case for most Windows users outside of the corporate world. They do not patch regularly and most do not have AV software or Spyware software, thus they will become infected. I have also found that a large number of home users rarely have a firewall in place. As I said if the tables were turned and Linux held the same market share FOR THE DESKTOP there is no doubt that it would be in the same boat that Windows is with regards to viruses and malware.
