Let's not get into any religious wars here! :-)

Anyway, Gnu Emacs 18.55 has been installed on our lab network in
/usr/local for quite some time now (at least a year, but definitely not
when you took the SunView class). This is the network used for the
programming classes, I really doubt that you'd find it in the Sys-Admin
classes (and definitely not in the Users or Productivity Skills classes).

However, since we are upgrading to 4.1 this week, I don't know if it will
be kept around. Also, since I don't handle the administration duties any
more, I again don't know if it will stay.

And, of course, I can only speak of Milpitas. What the other training centers
install, I don't know.
