Well the program called Wine is a good lier. Why you ask? Well Wine tells a
lie MS program to run in Linux or Unix environment. When a exe file and that how
a virus or Worm will start. Tells Wine to look for the window kernel. Well,
since wine is a liar and since it is caught on lie. Wine basically go opps and
shuts down.
Wine sets up a C directory since C: is the basic directory for windows. Wine
starts to lie to the MS program. So it sets up a directory in Linux/Unix for the
program to set up shop. Some times the magic does not work and you need to tell
Wine how to lie. Thus takes some mojo to tell Wine to lie.
Lets take World of WarCraft. Or known as WOW. Leave it up to gammers to tell
Wine to run the program under Linux/Unix. Cripes! I do not even play the game,
but there is lots of people who do.
If some day and that is a BIG if. If person with too much time on their hands
will spread a virus for Linux that will take out the whole kernel. Wine may be
the way to go to send the linux or unix world come crashing down. However, since
Linux is a hall way full of doors. Like if you ever seen the Matrix. When Neo
went into the hall way full of doors. That is the same way Linux is built. With
many doors to build the construct. Linux has Gnome, KDE, XFCE or know as
xwindows. It has GNU built with in the Linux kernel.
It is going to take lots of work to take down a linux system. This is why lots
of companies are switching to Linux for their severs O/S of choice.
