Introduction

I've been a Windows user for years. I'll admit it. At the time of this writing, I'm still fairly new to Linux. Being used to Windows, I regularly launch my government's time service and check my computer clock to see if it is accurate. Generally it is off by a few minutes after a month or so. Ahh, well, I change it and go on working.

Turns out that I do not have to do this in Linux.

Since I'm running KDE, I have the clock right next to the current weather and all my system tray icons. Just like I did in Windows.

Introduction

For those of you who know me, you are aware that I mostly use Linux (SuSE) at home on my desktop. I refuse to load Windows XP on my machine, and I only run Windows 2000 when necessary to perform video editing.

Now, when I am in Windows 2000, I have AGV Virus Scanner loaded, I have Outpost Firewall enabled, and I spot run both AdAware and Spybot Search and Destroy. In spite of this I recently found three backdoor Trojan viruses infecting my system.
