Ateneo de Manila University has compsci labs with PCs that dual boot to Ubuntu / WindowsXP. The student has a choice. But for most classes it is actually the teacher's choice. The OS / SystemProg teachers obviously use Ubuntu (Linux). When I taught OS I had the students install Fedora8 in one classroom/lab.
Any of UP/UPLB/Ateneo/DLSU is a good choice. If you have the money and the brains, you should go to Ateneo or DLSU, and give the UP/UPLB slot to the poor but brainy students. But you have to get accepted first, and getting accepted is usually not so easy. BTW, the school will not accept you if you use an alias like "Slim Joe" in your application. P~Manalastas P.S. If I were looking for a good compsci school, I will not take the "use of open source technology" as the only criterion for selecting the school. You have to look at the faculty (how many teachers have PhD/MS degrees), your classmates (are they smart?), lab facilities (in the area that you want to specialize in), the library (books, journals, online access, etc), research output of faculty and students, etc. --- On Tue, 8/12/08, Slim Joe <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > From: Slim Joe <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: [plug] FOSS-powered IT education > To: [email protected] > Date: Tuesday, August 12, 2008, 9:16 AM > I'm (sorry for using an alias) thinking of going back to > school to get > an IT-related degree, most probably plain ComSci.
