Anti-virus software for Linux 06:00 Are virus writers writing for
Linux, or is it like the Mac? 07:49 Use anti-virus software under
Linux to prevent passing on Windows viruses. 08:35 What about
platform-independent vulnerabilities, like Java security holes?
10:23 Do you get security updates automatically with Linux? 11:20
If Linux is open source, how do you know you can trust the security
updates? 13:56 I get all the updates if I purchase support, but
what about if I am using a free distribution of Linux? 16:09 Are
the updates only for the kernel, or for applications, too? 18:15 Is
the kernel the same from distribution to distribution? 20:26 It
would be difficult to get infected with a Linux virus, if they
existed. 22:30 Don't be part of the problem 23:15 How much choice

Linux, to remove infections. 57:39 John: Do drivers get installed
