I started giving my wife, who knows zilch about computers, a series
of
Linux-runnning laptops almost ten years ago. She does whatever the
hell she wants with it. Flash, browse whatever sites she wants (that
reminds me, what I said re Firefox, above, applies equally well to
Flash running inside Firefox), and her progression of laptops is yet
to catch any malware.
So, calm down, and keep your shorts on.
I was just curious, never concerned. I
watch for unusual things in
Fedora and Ubuntu on the family's laptops and my pc. Having never
experienced such things was more curious about whether I had overlooked
something.
Thanks
