I heard that there is no virus in Linux.
The source code of Linux is freely available.
Then why nobody is creating virus in Linux?

It's my understanding most viruses are written to attack the U.S. government and other organizations that run Microsoft Windows on the desktops, etc... so although I am sure it is possible to write Linux viruses, people are less inclined to do so. (Also sure it has to do with the number of people they can hit with Windows viruses vs. Linux viruses).

actually I'm having Software Engineering classe, and we are trying to learn steps to make a good software. We are talking about UML, Scrum etc ... and I'm wondering how open source projects (like linux, firefox, apache, gnome, ...) are managed and what kind of system and methods are used to have a good software ?
thanks !
A fast google gave me these simple wiki pages:
Open_source_software_development
Open_source_software_assessment_methodologies
I think this will give you a start. I hope this helps you.

Are there any pre-installed virtual machine-based ununtu linux boxes that I can directly download and use ?
virtualboxes.org
I've used them in a pinch and never had aproblem. They are pretty basic but they are a good start. I personally just do an install from an ISO unless I am really in a hurry. It is fast and I know exactly what I am going to get.

Sometimes my friend give me root access to his CentOS VPS to help him install some programs and he leaves. Sometimes I mess with it, but I don't have the login information for Parallels Virtuozzo Containers, so can I clean the VPS using SSH?
It's faster than formatting the VPS and re-installing the OS.
You could always take a backup before you being work and revert the changes after the face. rsync is one potential tool you could use to do this.

i am trying to get the remote access from windows system to linux system using teamviewer but when the connection is established the windows system sees the black screen. so anyone can help me how to establish the fair connection.
I had the same problem - for me with two solutions. On some systems, it just took about 30sec for the screen to build up (in that case, just be patient) and in the other case, there was a driver problem. Try to change the driver to the default ubuntu one and deactivate the proprietary hardware driver in that case.

Can anyone point me in the direction of some cheap low end hardware that I can attach a VGA monitor to and essentially have small information kiosk.
Preferably a fanless pc.
I've enjoyed Shuttle products in the past; this machine looks shiny and cheap.
