Has anyone come across a virus =
on Solaris, or any other type of Unix?
 I certainly have never heard of one. =
I suppose the way Unix is organised
 and the fact that security is taken =
seriously and buit in means that
 people choose much easier prey like =
the trash sold by Microshaft. Not
 that I am biased in any way!
