Yes, this is still the case. While A. Declercq has retired now, there are still classes on scripting and *nix systems. I don't exactly know how those classes are structured, but all freshman get a free ubuntu CD which is used during the courses. As said, I don't know if they learn how to install ubuntu, but each year there are several students who install it on their own. Most of them keep it as a dual boot configuration. The switch to use it as main OS mostly happens in the second or third year. I even heard of some math students who switched to ubuntu. So yeah, it's surely a good idea to bring the students in contact with ubuntu. If they don't switch to it, at least they heard about and have it available :) -- ubuntu-be mailing list / mailto:ubuntu-be@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-be
