I'm on my last term at DeVry West Hills on the NCM program. Honestly, my experience with DeVry, I didnt learn anything. I've learned more on my own and in the workplace and getting paid for it rather than paying at least $50k for tuition and not learning anything. The tuition keeps getting raised every semester. When I started 2 1/2 years ago the tuition was at $240 per unit, now its at $460 per unit. The professors there are horrible (except for one teacher whos the only one i respect).
My advice: Bail out on DUH-Vry as soon as you can and go to a different school... before they raise tuition again. You're better off taking your programming classes at a junior college.
forgot to mention...
i *never* install GUIs on my linux servers.
with the ubuntu "server" install option, it doesnt install X... unlike RHEL and SLES *ugh*
i started out with slackware and used it as my personal distribution for almost 10 years (alongside with debian and a few FreeBSD machines). at my work, we use fedora (migrated from redhat) and gentoo (wasnt my choice). i hate working with those distributions because none of those distributions feel natural to me.
i've tried moving onto other distributions just to play with, none of them felt right (mandriva, redhat, fedora, suse, arch, gentoo, just to name some). i decided to give ubuntu a try and i was in love with it ever since. now all my personal servers are running ubuntu.

i did the base "server" install option, not the full desktop install. from there i was able to build from the ground up.

IIRC... Microsoft uses Solaris and/or BSD for their hotmail servers ever since they bought them out. How do you migrate that many users?
