(1) What is the required platform for your school? If it ain't Apple you are SOL. If it is, then you have a valid complaint.

(2) Is the software available to run in Free BSD? If so, then you are OK. Your Apple OS is actually a slick GUI on top of an open source operating system and you should be able to make it work with a bit of tweaking. Steve Jobs has made a well paying career from stealing good stuff that other people developed. Google "Xerox Parc" and you can figure this out on your own.
