So far I'm really enjoying using it. I liked it so much that this morning I created a 2nd partition on my desktop PC and installed Ubuntu to that as well.</p> <p>I would like to ask about firewalls, anti-virus and spyware. Well basically do I need a firewall and anti-virus and what sort of risk is spyware to Linux systems?</p>peteuplinkMon, 12 Apr 2010 18:30:42 -0400http://linuxexchange.org/questions/12/firewalls-anti-virus-and-spywarefirewallsantivirusspywaresecurity
