Awesome, seems like there's several SLU guys on this list. I'm a student and I work on the MATRICS team doing tech support, fixing hardware problems, things like that.

Right now we have linux on all of the computers in the computer science lab, and all of the computers with the new imaging system have linux as kind of a rescue partition.
