Yes.

We use a notebook computer running Linux as the "training server". When
trying to hire a room, we specify:
- 12 PCs running Windows 95 or above (or Unix workstations, perhaps)
- Ability to plug our notebook into the network and use it as a server
- Some telnet program installed which is better than Windows telnet,
eg QVT or Teraterm (though we can live without this if we have to)
The reason we do this is because we figured it would be harder to get
them to install Perl on the PCs or whatever.
One of the pre-reqs of our course is some Unix knowledge, at least
enough to change directories, edit files, etc.
We're thinking of working up a Windows-based module or two, but we'd
mostly be aiming that at the corporate market.
