"Always" is spot on the mark, for Gentoo users. Gentoo releases are just lines in the sand, announced for the purpose of printing LiveCDs. We have to change a symlink which determines which version is running every year or so, but all programs are upgraded incrementally on demand using the best of breed package management facility, Portage. To quote the docs on the subject of upgrades:
"Here in Gentoo land, the concept of upgrading is quite different compared to the rest of the Linux world. You probably already know that we never got in touch with the "classic" way of upgrading software: waiting for a new release, downloading it, burning, putting it in the cdrom drive and then following the upgrade instructions. You know (being a Gentoo user after all) that this process is extremely frustrating for power users that want to live on the bleeding edge. [...]"
The Linux User Group at my university get together on reading days and use the enormous projection screens at the front of the CS building's lecture halls for Halo and DDR. The rows upon rows of seating have desk surfaces with power and ethernet, which allow the people waiting for a turn at the consoles or pads can play Starcraft. This guy with his theater can do better?
I'm a Computer Science major at a Prestigious Southern University with huge network pipes. I plan to host a few CS2.0 Linux servers at 10 ping. This will improve my class rank significantly without the need to spend a dime on arguably less ethical or lawful means.
nothing to do with the creation of C? then why am i supposed to be using his coding style?! hrmph. i'll put my {}'s where i damn well please, now that the ugly truth has come to light.
I am a senior with no curriculum left in computer science at my high school. The compsci department got a grant in January to upgrade by buying new machines for their programming lab, but had not developed a plan for the old hardware. I told them I could rollout a Linux lab so that they could teach twice as many classes. Of course, there's no support from the county, since the IT guy doesn't want more work.
How about this for an independent study curriculum: Learn how to sysadmin a couple dozen Linux workstations on a local network with NFS home directories, then teach your instructors how to do so; convert an introductory programming curriculum to Linux; and make everything stable before graduation at the end of the semester.
So far, its been hard-core. One more benefit of Linux in high schools, it keeps little hackers busy doing constructive community service.

That's probably a legitimate job, but it sounds supiciously like a dilbert cartoon to me.
Wally: "My proposed work plan for the year is to stress-test our product under severe network conditions. I will accomplish this by downloading large image files from the busiest servers on the net... I was this close to making it my job to download naughty pictures."
Oh, well what else is there to do in Alaska for the NSF? research?
