AFAIK, all CS12-32 classes in UP DCS use gcc in Linux (or Solaris). The new progam EEE 11 (Introduction to Programming) of UP EEE also uses gcc and all programs are required to compile perfectly in gcc, they are also required to comply with GNU make utility. The first module of the course is a solid background on GNU/Linux. Every semester, dozens of students (taking up introductory programming courses) flock to UPCC to get a copy of Knoppix or a Linux distro. UP EEE has long been pushing for FOSS adoption. In fact, lately I heard they are requiring students to use Octave in EEE 101 instead of proprietary Matlab. I hope next year, EEE 35 (Linear Analysis) will integrate the practicals using Octave. -- http://premrara.com -- Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List [email protected] (#PLUG @ irc.free.net.ph) Official Website: http://plug.linux.org.ph Searchable Archives: http://marc.free.net.ph .
