[Moved to -advocacy] On Thu, Nov 09, 2000 at 01:26:09PM -0700, Justin T. Gibbs scribbled: | specific examples of how FreeBSD is used as either a teaching | aid or a research platform by educational institutions. If possible, http://www.csie.nctu.edu.tw/os uses FreeBSD to teach OS Arch. I would estimate about 10-15% of *.edu.tw workstations is running FreeBSD, with a major following in the dorms. (sometimes much larger following than Linux.) As a teaching assistant, I use FreeBSD source to supplement my classes at Univ of Texas at Austin, ece.utexas.edu (Professor uses C++, Codewarrior/x86, and I will withhold opinion on that.) I also use FreeBSD on my own research project about high traffic router redundancy/load balancing controlled via neural networks. At AMD, I used FreeBSD/Alpha/x86 to do VHDL simulations and chip verifications for a while. I think USC has a course on OS Architecture using FreeBSD, Kris Kennaway has a url, which I forget. physics.purdue.edu runs FreeBSD in the computer labs, according to Will Andrews. IIRC, Drew Gallatin and duke.edu uses FreeBSD/Alpha+myrinet. China's government was considering to make FreeBSD its default *.gov.cn OS, but decided on Linux eventually. -- +------------------------------------------------------------------+ | keichii@peorth.iteration.net | keichii@bsdconspiracy.net | | http://peorth.iteration.net/~keichii | Yes, BSD is a conspiracy. | +------------------------------------------------------------------+ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-advocacy" in the body of the message
