If students are unable to learn to use Linux, they are also
unfit for taking courses at a university. In  other words, they
have nothing lost there and should be relegated to work they are
fit for, e.g. sweeping streets.

Last time I was at Fachhochschule ( one of our universities in
Munich ) to visit a friend I saw long rows of PC's with Linux
and FreeBSD on them in the exercise rooms, interspersed with
some IBM and Sun workstations. No M$ stuff anywhere. And I'd say
that this place is pretty typical for all universities
hereabouts.
