    Yep, I was basicaly forced to help in one of said lessons for "citizenship skills" a while back now, and they are a huge waste of time.

    Thankfuly the CS depeartment here are trying to find a sensible balance between only windows and only linux, all thought the reliance on X terminals seems to be conveying the impression that linux/unix is essentialy a gui os.

    One thing that did annoy me slightly was an OS lecturer not seeming to known the difference between Linux and GNU/Linux though :-(
