      It's Linux so yes! Ubuntu is based of Debain GNU/Linux which is one of the most stable and secure Linux distro out there! Ubunutu is a little more cutting edge, there is excellent support for it on the Ubuntu forums. I have Kubuntu 64bit (Ubuntu + KDE desktop) running on my box at home and on my laptop.

        Linux is a more secure operating system. 90 percent of all viruses are written for windows boxes. It might be possible to write a virus for linux, specifically ubuntu linux, but the big problem with this is that there are so many linux distros out there. Therefore, getting a virus that affects specifically ubuntu would be very hard to do.
