If anybody knows Beej, of Beej's Guide to Networking in C, (http://beej.us/guide/bgnet/), he was taught at Chico State by a guy named Tyson. Tyson is the only teacher they can get to teach the programming and algorithms II class (211, previously 112), and also happens to be the best teacher in the entire computer science department. He also teaches compiler design and software engineering. He's done more to keep any students in the computer science department than any other teacher, bar none. And they fired him a few years ago, for getting in the way of the state-school bureaucracy. The school then received around 3,000 emails and letters from students, demanding that he be reinstated. He's got tenure now, and keeps the giant stack of printed emails in his office. He's the man.
I've had nothing but positive changes since migrating from 8.10 to 9.10. Wireless connectivity is far better; they seem to have ironed out the issues stemming from multiple networks being around in the same band, video out works far better, PulseAudio is finally properly implemented. Overall it's a far smoother distro, in my experience. It took me about 6 hours to get everything working, iSight, mic and Skype, full screen flash, dev headers and software, compiz and conky.
How exactly, will they have enough jailspace for the millions of Spaniards filesharing? It'll be like the RIAA saying P2P music sharing in the States is totally eliminated. Which they did.
