Although the two main teaching assistants for the course last year are large Linux backers (one being the president of the Linux users group on campus), both were instrumental in getting the faculty to choose FreeBSD over Linux for this course. The reasons? Better source code consitency and quality as well as a large body of documentation of the internals of BSD OSes. I know that at least one large lab has been dedicated to FreeBSD since this choice was made, but I do not know if the use of FreeBSD has spread to other courses. Most users performed most of the course work from home on their own PCs. -- Justin To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
