The Linux Geek

I typically walk away from my computer and get side tracked doing something else. I have more then once came back just to see a terminal window open still signed in as root. To make matters worse I use a plasma widget called plasmacon that embeds a terminal window in to my desktop. There is a very easy solution to this problem.

I have heard the comment many times that if Linux was as popular as Windows it would have just as many viruses. While I do agree it would have more I do not agree it would be to the same extent. Currently windows has approximately 60,000 viruses compared to Linux having around 40. I have heard a few estimates so I do not know how accurate those numbers are but the scale is tipped that far. So do these numbers reflect the fact that Linux is not as popular as windows. I don't think so and heres why.
