Yes, I am totally agree with Kenneth, It is a thing of surprise that very few students knows and use Linux for their work. Here you cannot find Barcamp style Workshops and Now (tooo late) our institute have set-up Squid Proxies to improve the so called bad Hostel LANs. (main purpose of network is to use DC++) You cannot find a repo or local mirrors of Linux Distro. you can assume negligible roal of student as Linux sysadmin for hostels and Institute.
