Yea, theres even been a few worms for linux.. nothing new. Not even close to remotely damaging.. i think that second one was found to be a proof of concept.

Either way, its still abundantly clear that macosx and linux are fundamentally designed to be as reasonably secure from these sorts of things as an OS can be. Of course no OS in invulnerable.

But the widespread carnage you see accross windows systems due to virus's is still unlikely for either mac or linux in my opinion.
