I say it is not at all likely that a virus will be written for Linux. What do you say to that? You think it is possible so it needs to be fixed.
At least one "virus" has targeted UNIX like systems in the past. I see no reason not to believe that will happen in the future. Also, there are demonstrably mailicious websites which have PNGs intended to break common browsers, even some used with Linux, and exploit them. Where I disagree with the supporters of SELinux is in the pervasive approach it uses to fixing compromise on my desktop machine. My preferred recovery is reload from backup. That has to be done regardless of whether SELinux was active at the time the compromise took place, and I see any potential added benefit from it is being FAR less than the actual defects that having the code on my machine introduces.
We have a half wit President in Bush and I can't get him out of office. I don't loose sleep or write 50 messages. I know what I can not change.
Even if it were true, I don't see what it has to do with this
discussion, and I'd prefer to keep individual politics out
of this exchange.

You have found the bank of Larn.
I can explain it for you, but I can't understand it for you.
I speak only for myself, and I am unanimous in that!
