There is anti-virus software for Linux available. Ironically, they are only really needed if you also use Windows, since Linux viruses are rare, to say the least. http://www.f-prot.com/products/corporate_users/unix/ http://www.f-prot.com/products/home_use/linux/ http://www.clamav.net/ And as far as cd/dvd rw is concerned, it does work under Linux as well. What may not work properly yet is packet-writing (UDF), but that's about it. Regular CD burning is OK, including CD-RW and DVD. So you can finally switch to Linux 100%.
