At my University, the respective computer labs of each department is handled internally. When I take one of my rare strolls over to the humanities buildings, their workstations are almost completely Windows XP based machines. In my native CS department however, we have over 200 workstations that are running CentOS Linux distro. We do have a windows server that has remote login enabled. We also have an NX server running a linux remote login. We've got full ssh, ftp capabilities. A friend of mine works in psych department, and she has zero access to any linux or remote login capabilities. So, I would say the more technical your daughters particular field is, the more likely her specific college/major provides the resources she would enjoy.
