Anybody that says "Linux can't get viruses" is asking for it. In a way it will be better because none of the individual components of Linux will have the same sort of monopoly that Windows does ("this worm hits postgres, but I'm running mysql!") so you're automaticlaly talking about a smaller scale. But on the other hand it will be worse because there won't be one single entity to look to for fixes, and it may be more a case of trying to patch 100 small holes in the dam rather than 1 or 2 gaping ones.
