We run a scan of each. No surprise, we don't find any viruses. We go about all of this like a neophyte Linux user might, and have some trouble, just like a new user would! We don’t think you need an antivirus to protect you from Linux malware just yet. There is no Linux-specific malware in the wild. But you might want antivirus software installed on your Linux computer for three reasons: 1. To be prepared - just in case there is malware released for Linux. 2. To be courteous to your friends who use other operating systems. Antivirus for Linux currently scans your computer looking for malware that might infect other operating systems. 3. To connect to networked Windows machines and clean up their infections The following resources are mentioned in this episode: Our article on Antivirus for Linux: Antivirus on Linux - Do I Need It?

All of that is edited out. This is just Craig, Ben and Larry talking about Linux and answering your Linux questions. (We did leave in the bit about hooker names in Linux Mint.) The topic of the month: 5 Linux distributions for computers you never thought would run again! The following resources are mentioned in this episode: 5 Tiniest Linux Distributions For Your Ancient Computers: http://www.junauza.com/2011/07/5-tiniest-linux-distributions-for-your.html 1.

Windows has over 1000 new viruses a day, so this is not likely to decrease any time soon. Now the Mac users are getting the fake antivirus warnings, and because more and more Windows users are moving away from the OS, the new Mac users are falling for it! Can Linux users be far behind?
