[plug] Debian CD's covers and Computer Science courses

[Simon Scott]

	a) Every uni claims that industry asks for their graduates
specifically - mostly I find that industry couldnt care less, in fact many
of them dont care what your degree is in, they just want to know you have a
degree
	b) No, I wont praise ECU. Maybe 10 years ago, but it bites the big
one now

	I've studied at Murdoch University since 1995 and would generally
	recommend its CS programme.  It's generally a good balance between
	theory and practice and I've heard from various people in industry
that
	this is one reason why some ask specifically for Murdoch graduates.
	Murdoch's biggest advantage though is probably the flexibility it
gives
	you to combine different units and programmes so it gives you the
	opportunity to customise the material that you learn.  The general
	atmosphere at Murdoch also tends to be more friendly and open than
my
	experiences (and from things I've heard from others) than some of
the
	other unis.

	Of course, everyone is probably going to just praise their own uni
so I
	don't know how much you can trust any of the answers you get to this
	question. :)
