Re: Why are you on a *nix desktop?

Well, to be fair, it runs on my mail server and I just don't care about performance down there... it's got 4 2-way Zeon processors... but it's by no means loaded. Mail can take a couple of minutes to appear on my desktop (Thunderbird running imap to the server) but nothing I can't live with.

I used AVG and recommend it on Windows, but for Linux, ClamAv has done it for me and my clients that run sendmail servers.

Bruce - do you find it performs? I tried it on Windows when I was in
an "anything but paying those SOBs at Norton for another abysmal mess"
mood. It was truly horrible - everything slowed to a crawl and after
about three weeks I uninstalled and went to AVG.

Aaron... I run ClamAV in Linux. Not only does it look for viruses in
Linux, it parses all my email for them too. Don't want to be a
