How do you count how many files are in a folder in Linux machine?
PayamNab
I suppose the easiest way to do that would be to use ls and pipe it to word count
ls | wc -l
the -l switch is for number of Lines
for all files, including hidden files (ie .xfce4) use
ls -a | wc -l
hope i could help

Why is Linux said to be a virus-free operating system?
Ya Linux is virus free OS, How?? Answer: Linux OS Extracted files and folders are kept hidden which cannot be accessed by viruses. Now what are Viruses?? Viruses are the files which carry the path-name of the WINDOWS FOLDER present in Windows OS where all the functional .(DOT)dll files are stored. Once these .dll files get corrupted then the PC starts behaving like a mad bull. So, these .dll kind (not the same format files) of files are also their in Linux OS but they are kept hidden, as a result the virus path cannot find them. Thus, no damage but still the files stored by the user on a Linux machine get corrupted.
