That's why I'm moving to Linux at home.  My firewall PC has never been 
contaminated by Windoze at all.  I put it together myself.  It had Red Hat 
Linux 7.3 to start and now Red Hat 9.

My PC for running apps is currently dual-boot with Red Hat 9 and 
WinNT4.  Once I get RH9 configured to my liking, I'll run my current WinNT4 
setup in VMWare on Linux while I chose applications and migrate data as 
needed, then will run WinNT4 in VMWare only for those Windoze apps that I 
really need (which does not include any Mickey$soft apps).
