RE: Debian in Academic and Public Organisations

["Andrew McRobert" <mcrobert@central.murdoch.edu.au>]

hi, saw this thread while tidying up my mailbox ...

I'm the IT Liaison Officer @ the School of Law, Murdoch University in
Western Australia. We use a Debian box as a samba fileserver & web server,
and debian's used by at least two or three other departments here.

tks
Andrew

We use debian all over this campus (routers, firewalls, mail servers, web
servers, samba servers, etc) and I know that they have at least one debian
box in the CS department.
