That's good to know. One of my friends teaches there and mentioned that
they used Cygwin, but that was a couple of years ago.

There is a difference between teaching a Unix admin course and the Unix
course offered at Northeastern. I don't know what they use for the admin
class at Northeastern. I know they have Sun workstations at the Dedham
