Also, there are many courses in MU ( not just Engg but also BSc IT, MSc IT, Diplomas etc... ) which teach UNIX. But very few colleges actually have funds, faculty and most importantly the inclination to purchase licensed version of UNIX and so the students end up getting familiar / using Linux and that too Redhat or Mandrake =)
Look out world, here comes the humble tux! =)
