One of the Universities here in North Carolina has a big Computer Science program that actively participates in advancing Linux (great project). NC State University also has their own Linux distro based on RedHat...I believe all of the engineering students use their Linux distro, but the rest of the students still use Windows.
This is Alfonso Espitia again. For the people wondering who it was, and how big of a corporation I am/was dealing with it's Nortel Networks. Even if it all get straightened out, and it did turn out to be some dumb mistake on their part, atleast the next person should be wary that something like this can happen to anyone out there applying for a job with Nortel. To the other guy that asked, no, there was nothing in a background check that would come up suspicious. Maybe when I have some time I'll make a "Beware of Nortel's Hiring Practices" webpage and scan in all the documentation and emails that correspond to the situation. Thanks to everyone that has posted and is reading...
