OpenBSD is an OS with a particulary security-focused design: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenBSD_security_features But anyway these Linux viruses are mainly targeted at servers, so they often don't apply to laptops/desktops that aren't running server software that's accessible from the internet. Of course that's probably just because most Linux systems _are_ servers, personal users are a minority, and attackers looking the hack individuals PCs are therefore better off targeting Windows. -- __ __ #_ < |\| |< _#
