Comment CS @VT are linux ppl ! (Score 0) 186
actually, in CS computer requirement spec sheet. students suppose to have computer that can run mandrake linux perfectly. infact, many of CS labs machine, despite of several alphas, are mandrake based. i just took the first CS class ( intro to C++ ); they req'd me to use VC++. but i believe that in data structure, they req'd the usage of linux .. any flavor, i guess
data struct is sophormore's, so CS students here start linux on thier second year. but eng ppl usually run win2k box since they have to use industrial-standard-program such as UniGraphics ( licenses were donated to engr student ), AutoCAD, Matlab, etc..
that were for ugrad student anyway, i know lots of phd student here that use linux box.. req'd for their research though.
oh.. one more thing. despite from required usage of linux. the system that 'automatically' grade student's source code ( named 'curator' ) run on NT. i believe the research of this system is funded by microsoft.
