Perceptions of the Linux OS Among Undergraduate System Administrators

[Stephen Anderson]

I graduate in Jan from HPU after 3 years of classes, and I am full-time Unix 
(Linux/Solaris/HP-UX/SGI) / LAN administrator. I took the Unix System 
Administration class a few months back when HPU offered it at the Sub Base. 
The textbook was the O'Reilly Essential System Administration book. Eddie Lo 
was the instructor, and the class was very challenging but I managed to an A. 
Many students received B's and C's that would normally receive As in other 
courses. HPU now has Eddie focusing on Math courses, and that is too bad 
since he is some type of an Unix Administrator.
Most of the HPU Satellite instructors are Windows focused. I would love to 
see some folks from the Unix community take on teaching with HPU at the 
Satellite campuses. Who knows maybe we could get HPU to offer a Perl course 
to the students.
