In Short:

  • No ... even the Linux world is not entirely virus free
  • BUT - the amount of known malware for linux is pretty small compared to the Windows world
  • Most well known viruses are often focusing the windows world & often limited to Windows based on the used technique.

Want to know more?

Please consider reading this post - as it really collect already a big amount of information regarding your question. Wikipedia has an article about linux malware as well - might be worth a read as well. Additional information can be found in the Ubuntu Wiki.
