I believe UNH's CS department was quite linux-centric. The first programming course for engineers was C++ using GCC and VI, and required ssh'ing into a server to submit work. That's about all I can speak to, though.
That said, I think they've switched over to Java for a lot of the beginning stuff a few years back, so none of what I said might be true anymore.
