The University of Abertay Dundee (in Scotland) are ditching the Net Yaroze as of this year. First year candidates are not going to use it whereas the second year's still use it for courseworks. They know of the Linux kit but I don't think they are going to use them... I know Middlesex Uni had Yaroze's but I'm not sure about their interest in the Linux kits...
