I have been running a Debian workstation on a LAN (server hosts a web
site and also acts as a mail server) from August 2000. There are two 
Windows boxes on the LAN. No viruses at all - the server runs Debian and
exim's system filter has caught them all. The two Windows boxes have 
anti-virus software installed but nothing has ever got through the Debian 
server - yet.
