This is a good point because U of M also payed seven digit fee to sell MS cd's. It is true that CAEN (which does not encompass all of U of M) has 'some' support for linux but the University as a whole is still very MS oriented (as well as MacOS, Sun, and HP-UX). As a U of M student i think this is a nice thing to have available but wanted to point out that for the most part U of M does not support linux. CAEN linux is a for a the most part a pet project of some very talented CAEN employees. As far as i know they are not doing much work on CAEN linux right now and are working on a high UD patch (might be wrong there). This does show that a university could provide Linux for their students in the future and could costomize it to work hand in hand with the University system. To the few people actually working on CAEN linux, you ROCK!!! later
