I admit that I'm a geek. I use Linux. I use Solaris. I use FreeBSD. At times, I use Windows. And without a doubt, I download and try almost every Linux distribution when they come out. Over the last few years, I've tried all of the RedHat/Fedora releases, 2 different Lindows/Linspire releases, Mandrake, Gentoo, Xandros, Suse, Ubuntu, and the list goes on.

You know, I use computers for about 15 years now, and what is the most interesting, had a virus only once, in 96 or 97, don't remember. I can only wonder how and where people get it.
And that's not Windows' fault that people don't use secondary logon for administrative tasks. If you going to do your everyday work as root on *nix-like system, you'll get the same result - don't you think so?
And, as i recall, Linspire, when it was Lindows, had a bad habit of making it's user root by default Hope they improved it now.
