[Plug] Linux and Viruses


Is Linux completely impervious to the viruses of the 
DOS/Windows world? Is it impervious to the concept
of the virus in general? Aside from user permissions 
and kernel mode execution what about Linux makes it 
so resistant?

Are viruses an entirely DOS/Windows-specific 
(read single-user-OS) phenomenon? 

Just wondering.
