    This would be a perfect sysadmin career pipeline if Dutch universities could move to FOSS tools and Linux; think about it - if the universities run on Linux, said universities could offer a sysadmin course and basically grow more sysadmins and open up a new line of work for people that may actually have some staying power.

    They’d both get job training and a degree that could be used outside the school at the same time.
