The thing that kills me is, AV software for Linux is just looking for Windiws viruses. Tripwire seems more appropriate for Linux.

I've had that debate and it was decided that we had to have something. FWIW we use TrendMicro deep security.

Typical AV for Linux is for server products serving mainly Windows clients, and the Windows clients are more probable to run random binaries.

Linux malware, outside of someone trying to crack the computer, largely doesn't exist because have you ever tried to ship binaries for all Linux distros?
