I love Unix/Linux like the next guy, but...........
No Unix/Linux system is completely impervious to Trojan Horse attacks. That is why I run my servers all on separate machines and behind hardware based firewalls.

I use Linux to run a DNS server, an e-mail server, and web server. I also have computer systems running True64, Irix, and Solaris for Sparc.

And yes, I use a MS Windows98 system for day to day cruising of the net. I have Anti-Virus and Firewall software installed. I can't begin to tell any of you how well the Firewall blocks and tracks Trojan Horse attacks.
