Not necessarily speaking for UA&P, there have been plans ever since last year's contest to run Linux in the labs. It'll be a big project, however, since the network admins are NT-trained. There are only two Linux/Unix-capable teachers/admins AFAIK in the whole university. In the short term however, I've talked to Mr. Bryce Aguiling (who headed Systems during this year's contest) and Mr. Vince Cruz, and they're ok with running the PC^2 server on Linux, at least to help secure the server for the contest, as well as improve event logging. If anything, at least there was a Cygwin environment installed during the contest. With Emacs. ;) (I'm told that one of the Chinese teams requested it, and Emacs on Win32 and/or Cygwin was a headache installing, so maybe they'll have Linux next year. Who knows?)
