In particular: Does anyone have a system that is primarily run by student labor? How much effort is needed to maintain a system (quantified perhaps by number of machines and number of users)? How many campuses have centralized facilities versus (for example) facilities run by departments? Any comments or suggestions about how you run your facilities are welcome. Email is probably preferable, if enough interest is shown, I'll summarize. -- jefu@jupiter.nmt.edu -- Jeff Putnam, New Mexico Tech, Socorro, NM
