Linux at ASU Conference?

[Tom Achtenberg]

If you were a network administrator of a network that is being watched for things like illegal downloads would you let just any box be connected without knowing who it was?  If you would, you wouldn't be the admin for long.  Give them a break.  They are not saying no Linux boxes can be connected, just saying they must be registered like any other box.  That is a reasonable requirement.

Freedom is not appreciated at ASU.

The college of engineering REQUIRES linux boxes to be registered.  An 
unregistered linux box will have its network connection shut off if 
detected.

Handguns are not registered in Arizona.
