Re: [ossig] University curriculum for OSS?

["Ho Nee Shen" <neeshen@pikom.org.my>]

I was exposed to Open Source in University under the subject of  Operating
Systems. We have to learn and compare how Operating Systems does their CPU
Scheduling, Memory Management and such. We used Linux, then was red hat, to
demo and test out various functions.

Then during final year, i was thought a small deal of Unix when i took
TCP/IP programming. I guess you cant do much programing on a very low level
using expensive Visual Studio.

So I think Open Source is gaining grounds in the universities but not
directly. You have to take into account that universities do not teach a
specific product but rather the concept of computing.
