Not a Millennicon con report......

[poltr1]

...because I didn't go this past weekend. If you want to know why I choose to continue my personal boycott of this con, this is my story and I'm sticking to it.

Instead, I had dinner with Deb on Friday night. On Saturday, I went to the Installfest+ held by the Linux SIG of the DMA, a local computer user group. I didn't get my laptop modem problems resolved, but I learned about firewall and anti-virus programs that I can use on Ubuntu. That night, I chaperoned several young teens who were having a sleepover at my church. On Sunday, M and I went to the Newport Aquarium, and spent way too much money. Last night, I watched C-SPAN while they were debating the health care bill.

I've never worried about anti-virus on Linux. Should I?

Probably not, but it's better to be safe than sorry. I think there's a version of ClamAV that runs under Linux, which is good for scanning downloaded files.
