A topic of concern in Linux

[Jes and guide dog Harley]

Hi, all.
As someone who has been a windows user for 5 or so years, it was only in the last 2 or 3 years I have seen a gradual increase in
companies who put the everdreaded spyware and adds on their sites. I have watched helplessly as this business has grown steadilly,
and frankly, I am worried that soon, Linux will be the next culpret as far as privacy invation and spying. I know a lot of you on
list have raved about how secure and better Linux is than Windows, and I might agree with you, but my question is, how is it that
Linux is not getting bombarded with all this excess trash such as cookies that tracks people's movement on the internet? If you'd
like, email me privately at: jesman598 at triad.rr.com with your responses, as I do not wish to clog the list.
Thanks.
Jes
