Linux at UMKC

[Mathur, Sachin (UMKC-Student)]

I've been studying in UMKC for about a year and half. It boasts of offering network major without a 
linux /unix network (except for 2-3 worstations for simulations).  I dont think umkc will be 
interested in linux in the near future unless the "think tank" believes otherwise.

	An act of God (who I don't subscribe to).
	
	I both work at and attend UMKC. While IBM has been making significant
	inroads in to the IT department in the UM System (mostly because the
	university is fed-up with Dell), IBM isn't exactly pushing Linux per se.
	
	Allow me to also say that with the exception of Justin Maylyn (sp?), the
	IT department at this university is the most incompetent bunch of
	beaurocraticlly encumber ninnies I've ever had the displeasure of being
	at the mercy of. Most of them amount to little more than a glorified
	MCSE and wouldn't know how to change directories at a console if their
	lives depended on it.
	
	I've been working and going to school here for over a year. I am
	studying computer science (shouldn't this be were you would see more
	linux?) and UMKC's *nix support/teaching amounts to little more that the
	musings of a few interested faculty at the 400's level.
	
	This university bought the Microsoft FUD: hook, line and sinker. Now
	they're paying for it dearly with consistent network failures and
	systemic service delivery problems.
