The Busing should not be an issue. You can metro to South Campus and take a
intercampus UB shuttle. Last time I heard they were free even to non
students.

Thanks, I had the opportunity to trek up to the Linux labs one time, and
they were closed for maintenance...
bummer! I did take a picture of the entrance to the lab. Thank you for
mentioning this.

I'm interested in their lab, but it took me a really long time to get there
on the bus last time.

So what's his name? I suppose if he is into Linux, there's probably a good
chance he subscribes to this mailing list.

that might be worth a shot as well, sadly I can only drop a name I only had
him as an instructor.
