linux virii on the loose!!! (Score 1)

uhm - this article claims that linux is particularly succeptible because the binaries are simple and easy to understand, therefore making them easier to modify... unless we've gotten into the habit of running precompiled binaries as root without looking at the source first, i still don't think we have anything to worry about. the major threat here sounds like the ~/bin directory or something similar - unless you like leaving your /bin /usr/... and /usr/local/... world-writable!
