For what it's worth: one place where unix (particularly linux) is very widespread is the physics community, all over the world it seems. And many of them are very good system administrators too, with no formal training. You'd find it hard to hire them, of course; my point is that it's not as hard as it sounds and you don't need a formal unix education for it. From what I know of computer science education in India, while the small "irregular" training shops focus on the latest Windows buzzwords, the regular engineering institutes and universities (with degree programs) are mainly Unix-based. From what I've heard from friends in the west, it's the same in most serious universities there too. - Rahul.
