Hm. Okay. I'll happily admit that that's absolutely the best kind of exposure
for our projects to get. Direct experience / learning is always good. (That's
why I was able to turn my last office into a NetBSD shop. They took it on
faith that I knew what I was doing, and then got hooked by the fact that
everything worked so well. It's not quite the direct involvement of a class
where you're learning to do something right on that OS, though. *That* is
a convincing experience.
