I wonder if there is a Linux/Unix class room at ESB? As small as 15
workplaces would be OK.

Last year I've setup a class-room like that. Unfortunately, at our
department some professors insisted on using Windows-only environment,
and in the end I lost -the classroom was converted into Windows. I
hope that CSEE is more progressive minded in this respect. So, if
there is no linux class room, I wonder if we can push to setup one?
Like, maybe a letter from Morlug + ACM + myself requesting a to
convert an lab or part of it into Linux? After all, computer science
shouldn't be just about Microsoft, or should it?

Regarding my particular involvement, I intend to teach a courses on
Computational Mechanics, and Computational Fluid Dynamics, and
eventually on cluster computing and parallel CFD. I  will be using
open source software and my own codes.
