I'm in the Bsc. ICT & AI stream. Well, I might have overestimated it a bit :S I know for sure I converted one fully to Ubuntu from Vista. The only OS he uses now is Ubuntu, with some XP. I know that there are others who experiment a bit with it though. Some others might experiment with it in the summer, too.
I also know that there's a BSD user :D Is there really a course requirement for Linux? Systems programming or some other? Right now I have to use XP for this damn FPGA program, PSpice. It's virtualised, and taking up a heck of a lot of RAM (only 1 gig here). Luckily Arch doesn't take that much RAM, even though I'm running Gnome 2.22, and a bunch of other programs. Do you know any linux fans among the lecturers? :D On Wed, 2008-05-21 at 21:30 +0200, Sebastian Cachia wrote: > Yeah, I'm at Uni (2nd year IT). What stream are you in Jean?
