Regarding the Masonic temple lab with the linux boxen, I have it on good
authority that this lab is hard to find and on top of that is little-used
because it is a "productivity lab", which apparently means that the
applications (at least on the Microsoft Boxen) have been stripped down to
schoolwork-related apps only.  As a result, maybe 2 people will use the
lab on a typical day.

So it seems like very few folks at Pitt will ever even know that the linux
labs exist.  How sad.  They need an evangelist :)

The teacher for the beginning C class has her students use emacs to write & run their C programs.  I thought it was pretty cool that not only did they open a lab, but they were actively using it for at least one dev class (I don't know what other classes were using it).
