Just wondering if Linux is the same as Mac OSX where its dificult to get spyware viruses etc??? Thought Id mention I finally got my modem working with mepis and now i dont think i'l ever use windows again. I love Linux
there is at least 1 bit of spyware out there, but the makers used personal enginering to get it to work, so if you are blonde enough (yeah im blonde) to NOT read the details on their spyware and install it you deserve to have it running on your system.
