Hong Kong Universities are Windows exclusively. It wasn't always that way. I met my wife through unix talk :) While she was at HKU. I expect there are some unix computers hidden away, but the students don't have access to them.<br>However some vocational schools do use linux.<br>The real UGH, is the University Graduates, don't know how to use opensource software. It is really bad for business.<br><br>As a Canadian I sure hope Universities in Canada don't drop Unix and switch to Windows.<br><br>Cheers<br>Tim<br><br><b><i>Michael Lacey <em.lace@gmail.com></i></b> wrote:<blockquote class="replbq" style="border-left: 2px solid rgb(16, 16, 255); margin-left: 5px; padding-left: 5px;"> What do they use most at these Universities?<br>I can't imagine having to access a university or other public computer remotely without a command line! <br>U..ugh.<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 9/7/06, <b class="gmail_sendername"> Timothy Webster</b> <<a
