Using Linux Every Day

Yep... I'm attempting to use Linux every day at home. If you're wondering why I'm trying *again* to switch it's because of one word...

virii

Yep all those viruses (virii is the real way to pluralize it). I'm tired of even having to worry about it. My wife is really good at being cautious. We're good about her computer. Regular updates to the antivirus and a good firewall ( ZoneAlarm ). We've not been hit by any of the recent virii that have done the rounds.

I'm just tired of having to worry about it. With Linux I have other things to worry about security wise, but I don't have to worry about getting a virus. I have to just worry about "getting hacked".

Have a great day!!
