    Here are a few. It seems Linux isn't as immune as it used to be although if an infected binary is run as a user it isn't going to infect the whole box. The privilege system in Unix makes it hard for any virus to do any real damage unless it exploits a known issue in some Linux kernels which allow priv escalation. Most nasties that hit Linux boxes target servers. XSS exploits and such which really aren't the fault of Linux, but is the fault of the coder that didn't sanitize the code properly..
