Heh, no, I'm by *FAR* not an experienced IT tech, Windows or Linux-wise. ;-) But from what I have seen from my 15+ years of running Micro$oft Windows products, and my relatively short time with Linux, I would feel much safer running a non-virus protected Linux rig than the similar offerings from Redmond, WA. A matter of fact, I would challenge most virus coders to come up with an actual working 64 bit Linux virus when even native 64 bit Linux applications (so far!) have a spotty track record day to day whether they want to play nicely with any 64 bit archetecture you might be saddled with. :-( I must admit that Vista looks like it's starting to get things right though. BTW - thanks for pointing out that ut2k has a native Linux installer already built in. I wonder if running ndiswrapper (or whatever it's called?) on it will get it to play happily with an AMD Athlon F2 4600+?
