| The problem with answering this question is that those asking it know only OSes where viruses, trojan-horse programs, worms, nasty Javascripts, ActiveX controls with destructive payloads, and ordinary misbehaved applications are a constant threat to their computing. Therefore, they refuse to believe Linux could be different, no matter what they hear. And yet it is. |

| There is a firewall extension in the MyDSL repository called rc.firewall and iptables: http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/damnsmall/mydsl/net/ It is possible to install an antivirus program but at this time it is unneccesary due to the lack of Linux-based viruses. DSL is naturally immune to MS Windows viruses. |
