Hey all,
From my reading I get the impression that the above statement, "Linux
is just as susceptible to viruses, worms, and other malware", is
inaccurate.
Here are some links to good articles written by far more qualified
individuals than myself.

Full disclosure: I run Ubuntu Linux for workstations, FreeBSD Unix for
servers, and have a Mac running OS X for testing Safari, and use Windows
only for testing IE and specific Windows software.
I much prefer a well set up *Nix system to Windows any day.
