Comment Re:Knoppix Anti-Virus? (Score 0, Flamebait) 156

This is a wonderful idea, especially for minorities who are often uneducated about computer security and unable to afford the pricey name brand AV suites. These people, who often lack the experience and the computer literacy to avoid virus infestations, could really benefit from a free and easy to use AV suite. Many complications with virus removal stem from the virus' interference with the anti-viral software, so having a seperate OS boot up to deal with them is a great idea.

Open source projects and their potential applications are really one of our greatest hopes for brining minority populations up to the level of everyone else, in terms of computer intelligence.
