We all know that GNU/Linux Distros and Mac are not perfect and they too have virii that exist, especially since their popularity has increased. The potential for quick fixes with GNU/Linux Distors is greater than Mac because the code is open source, so vulnerabilities can be found by anyone and fixed by anyone. And we all that the only way to truly have a secure machine is to turn off any and all networking cards (including wireless). There, as a standalone, your system is totally secure, provided you don't use sneakernet to install any virii, and Malware won't matter either. @RW: ha, love the sarcasm.
