- lab computer
At Monash the IT lab computers dual boot windows and some distro I can't remember, but they keep that distro really out of date and don't even install dev tools on it in IT labs. One of my tutors last semester thinks it's so no one will use it so they won't have to support it. Given that, I'd expect active resistance to trying to get the tools we need on them.
Do any courses/subjects require the use of Linux? If you can get a lecturer complaining to IT that the computers aren't suitable for their subject, it would help. I think. If Linux is not considered a requirement, then that is why they don't maintain it. -- Brian May <brian@microcomaustralia.com.au>
