BTW we are getting a lot of messages about some new viruses out there.
Our policy is not to publish this stuff as we would be at it all the
time.

My suggestion is go with Linux for your email as Linux is 99% immune
to
all viruses and 100% immune to Windows viruses. You don't have to
give up all your Windows software. There are several ways around
that. You can dual boot or have two computers or you can run a Windows
emulator called wine. Linux comes with utilities to convert Windows
files to Linux files and vice versa.

Paul,
Relative to your virus posting - Linux is not "99% Immune" - it's just

that

99% of virus writers currently target Windows. Linux will get its day in

the

sun. As the success rate of Windows viruses continues to decline virus
writers will start targeting Linux - and since the source code is

readily

available - it'll be easy to write some really nasty critters for Linux.

Thanx,

I am not so sure about that. Linus has not pissed off a billion people
like Bill has :) Linus is just a much nicer guy :)

There is also a lot more security features in Linux like its heavy
into permissions.

You would have to learn it first and that would be a good thing :)
