What I'm most interested in are
1) Does the main IT department helpdesk web page mention Linux?
2) Does the main IT department helpdesk offer Linux installation?
3) Are there any explicit "Introduction to Linux" or "Linux System
Administration"
   classes (credit or noncredit)?

Although CS students are very important here, I'm looking for evidence
of
more widespread adoption of Linux.

Thanks!
