Sig, I don't think it's Linux so much as the kinds of things that Alan Kay has observed as being horribly wrong in computer science/engineering education. Produce programmers with zero (if not confused/negative) skills in engineering ("no taste" as Steve Jobs said of MS) and you get really bad software.
