RedHat enterprise Linux is no longer the standard Linux distribution in use by EECS. CentOS is now the distribution of choice in the department.

The distributions supported and recommended by the LUG remain Ubuntu and Fedora.

I found this information at the latest CEACC meeting and thought some of our younger LUG members might be interested.

TO: Freshmen Engineering Students
FROM: Dr. Shane Brown and Karyn Hildreth

We are requesting your participation in a reasearch project to understand factors that influence the success of students in engineering. We will be studying how and with whom students interact with those around them by monitoring the development of social networks over the course of the term.

We are looking for 40 engineering students in their freshman year in the engineering department to participate in our study.
