Linux Weapons, Armor, and Items also carry the benefit of being counted as one quality higher when determining if it works on a certain System if the System is running Linux.

	Virus: Any Creature or Agent directly or made by proxy by a Progenitor Virus. Is any Hostile program that was not created by a User. Can be detected by Detect Virus. Note that many beings are Viruses which are either mindless, or naturally occuring due to Progenitor Virus or Proxy influence. The line between Worm and Virus is typically a blurred one. The best rule of thumb, when determining if a certain creature is a Worm or Virus, is to determine if the proximity or actions of a Progenitor or Proxy would create it. If it would, it's a Virus. If the creature would've come into existance despite the influence, it's a Worm.		'''Virus:''' Any Creature or Agent directly or made by proxy by a Progenitor Virus.
