  Great info. Seems Linux seeping its way into the 
  edu world, albeit slower than I'd hoped. 

  Just out of curiosity,
  what are folks using to write course materials in? I'm stuck on Latex
  but I'd much rather be using Docbook, espeicially since the
  Latex macros don't get translated well in Latex2html.

  BTW, bookpool.com has the best prices for many tech books online.
   Especially the O'reilly ones..

  Is anyone going to the Linuxworld Expo?
