Update:

Apparently, the linux machines have been replaced with old machines, based on CTMI/Windows 2000 computers from room 225.

Re: article statement

It is interesting to note how a figure of "6 students enrolled" can be quoted in any article discussing class sizes, etc. Quite meaningless. Which course(s)? When, precisely? At the beginning of each semester, my classes were overflowing with more than 20 students (there are only 20 computers in the lab) to the point where students had to share access to computers. This can be verified by attendance records. Hence, this is a misleading statement, in my opinion. Consider that my ESL class alone had at least 17 students throughout the semester, using the lab during their class, using OpenOffice to write essays, answer questions, using WordNet for dictionary purposes, etc.
