Here in our CS department we are almost solely immersed in the Unix world.
Which is not necessarily such a good thing. There really should be a happy
balance between the two "worlds" I guess.  I prefer the Unix OS's, cuz
they're better :), so I get along great with the Sparcs and Ultras we have
here.  The programming aspect of the curriculum is almost all in Unix also.
Myself, I've taken an IPC course ( unix internals ) and a software
engineering course here, along with all the other courses taught.

Basically I've been weened with gcc, g++, gdb, and vi  .. which I like.  Now
because of that I'm a linux nut now .. o well :).  So I would guess that in
your search for a school, make sure you get pretty detailed.  Shit,  I've
seen places still running on 486's.  Sad Sad Sad.

"that's just my .02$"
