Hi, people !
I have a funny story for you ! The bosses of our university have decided to
change a fleet of computers. And after some hard thinking they got an idea
to buy (nearly $40k and +$20k operating system ) a IBM-360: it is an old
slow mainfraim, with _one_ Pentium-120 inside. They wish to use it in some
classes with nearly 40 terminals. We think this is a brain-dead idea and
propose an alternative decision on Linux, which is more cheaper (even if to
buy an Alpha AXP :) .
We *NEED* a *HELP from *YOU* ! Please *MAIL* me about *ANY* precedent of
using Linux in colleges and universities for teaching people in OS,
programming languages, RDBMS and so on. Also, we are interested in types of
hardware on which Linux is running (processor, memory, disks, number of
users ... ).
Any information will be appreciated. Thanks a lot for your answers.
