Excellent. Can one of these RPM's be used for Dedian based distro's?
e.g. Ubuntu, MEPIS etc?

Thanks.

rpm's can be used on a Debian with the "alien" command.

I guess there are some linux viruses around!!!

But what kind of pathetic hacker would write a virus for such a little
number of users?

Shame on him...he must be really bored!

But on the other hand just to make the linux fanatic shut up their claims
that linux does not get viruses it would be worth the effort!

I like linux.... but once they start circulating rumors that linux is better
than windows.. I just have to keep proving them wrong.

see what I mean.... you have a program, but then its a pain in the a** to
make it work with various distros! Ok you can compile the program from the
source code...
Whay joy! I beat that is easy to do for everyone, and for every single
program you have to install...

Get windows! It just WORKS!

As El Gee says you'll have to use Alien to convert the rpm to deb.

Alternatives (free for personal use) but command line only are AntVir,
F-Prot, BitDefender & ClamAV.

Good Luck

Windows is for people who need to get things done.
Linux is for people whose hobby is computers.

Both have their place.

Yes... I will...

You know that no one kicks a sleeping dog. Perhaps thats why everyone is
making
viruses for windows and not other OS. As for the theory that there can be no
viruses for linux, that is hogwash...

By the way.. I am downloading from torrents vista beta, and Kubuntu 5.10. I
am really trying to like linux... but even though I experiment with it, as a
hobby, I cant imagine that I would use it as my main platform. The things I
want to do just cant be done on linux.

I also have used: mandrake-mandriva, suse, redhat - ferdora, ubuntu (older
version), knoppix, memphis, gnoppix, DSL, ASPlinux, Lindows - Linspire,
Pclinux OS, slax, Morphix and several other ones i cant remember now...

Of other OS, OSX (mac), Workbench (The amiga OS), Warp, BeOS

Still nothing comes close to windows... they all stink. Even the mac OSX
although it seems better, there is very little software around for it
compared to windows.

Sorry but its a battle between the bad (windows), the beatiful (macOSX) and
the ugly(linux), and we all know who is winning!

Actually I have nothing against Microsoft or Windows, Bill.
I make a fairly good living supporting Windows machines.

I agree...

Linux is great for servers also.

But each person should know their place....and not claim things.

IF in the future someone makes a great linux that is better than windows, I
will
be using that. I dont care the name of the OS, I just want to do things!

This would be a great discussion, but not for here. I personally could
give a good arguement in both directions, as well as in favor of other
OS's as well.

Umm...What's the *POINT* of this? There really aren't any viruses for Linux
despite the claims of the Windows and the commerical Anti-Virus crowd who are
basically the prime source of the so-called "Linux Viruses" that don't really
work in the real world on actual Linux-based systems.

Most Linux Anti-Virus programs are used on email gateways to protect

ClamAV has a KDE gui frontend, KlamAV. Not superbly polished, but it
works fine.

You would have a very hard time proving me wrong, namely that Windows
is a better OS than Linux, simply because that is *by far* not true.
However I'd easily concede that there are more drivers and more
quality programs for Windows: no wonder, that is where the money is
to be made (but that is changing too)
