Come on, you stretching it waaaay to much. I believe that universities
would go a more corporate way with support - something like SLED maybe,
since RedHat doesn't provide any corporate desktop and fedora it too
cutting edge for such institutions.
Look just at evolution, is has much more bugs now in Fedora 8 that in
Fedora Core 6 (yes I filed bugs). Nobody sane doesn't install fedora on
such large numbers of desktops without any support.
