    Not in college yet but the one I plan to go to uses Suse and XP (At least they did when I went there at some point in the last year)

    XP and Fedora Core dual-boot on regular computers, no Linux on servers (we've got AIX and Solaris instead ).

    my college uses mostly mac os x and windows xp/vista, and they have this really nifty program called Deep Freeze which basically either deletes any chances made to the installation when its rebooted, or it just re-images the disk...either way, if you install something or screw something up, you just reboot and it boots up like they first just set up the computer, so its impossible to bork them.

    But it's easy to remove DeepFreeze.

    My high school's server runs Novell does that count? The only other computer that ran Linux was when I brought my laptop to school.

    I know we have SUSE boxes around campus, and possibly some Redhat as well. There's also an Ubuntu box in the ACM lab (but that's student run)
