I think you're right about the fact that we shouldn't descriminate against
other majors, but what percentage of the dance majors in the Richards Building
have a burning desire to learn about PGP, PHP, NFS, and other TLA's? That's
why I don't think we should spend our time handing out Knoppix CDs in the
Richards building.
Accept all, cater towards CS/EE/IS....
