Even after doing the proposed certificate, I may still look at redhat as work 
is a debian/redhat shop on the linux front.

It boils down to labs are supposed to be for teaching purposes or research, if 
a member of lecturer is running a linux module he may get a linux lab (if it 
can't easily be done on one of the available linux servers.

Incidentally if you do want access to a linux box at UAD and your not doing a 
linux related module, ask the helpdesk for access to KYDD and we'll enable you 
account.http://kydd.uad.ac.uk/ putty and cygwin should be available in the labs.
