It is the responsibility of any University to promote the open and free expression and exploration of ideas and knowledge. Unix, of course. Yes, Texas, of course. Some of asked about running linux dual boot on them. No can do.
Some grad students run linux on their personal machines, but NO linux labs.
I hate MS and I hate how I always get everyone mad at me when I say anything negative about them. The UW completely sold out. I'm so glad someone is willing to say something about it. Well, I can't believe Windows crashing so often as it did, almost a dozen times in the day I had to write that thing. Look at the way they teach assembly code.
