This isn't typical at all; I went to SUNYIT two weeks ago to check it out (I submitted an application, haven't heard yet though) and most of their PCs run either FreeBSD or Gentoo Linux. The non-computer science PCs run Windows though, but that is out of the proffesor's grasp. SUNYIT focuses on open source software, they even have a Linux Kernel Development class. But I'm only saying this to stick up for US schools, because not all are like that; Some of them actually support FLOSS, to the point where they use it in their own school and advise that the students use it on their own computers. -- http://digital-haze.net/~pobega/ - My Website If programmers deserve to be rewarded for creating innovative programs, by the same token they deserve to be punished if they restrict the use of these programs. - Richard Stallman -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
