What is missing from this 10 things list? Do you have a Linux tip or tutorial that we could publish?

Sure, there aren't quite as many viruses out there targeting Linux, but they are there. Makes sense to add a little protection. Some good FOSS options include F-Prot for Linux (http://www.f-prot.com/products/home_use/linux/), AVG (http://free.grisoft.com/doc/2/lng/us/tpl/v5), and a whole host of others.
If you're already using Linux, you shouldn't still be thinking that only proprietary software (like F-Prot and AVG) can do the job for you. You should already be sold on the idea that open source software can be at least as good as proprietary software, if not much better.
That being the case, I wonder why you're recommending only proprietary antivirus software, rather than ClamAV. In fact, ClamAV, a fully open source antivirus software solution, is one of the best AV systems available in terms of its comprehensive protection from viruses.
