Greetings,

For the last two years I've run a Linux administration course in our winterm.  
In both cases the title of the course was "Special Topics."  This winterm we 
will be looking at open source, the history of Linux and GNU, and copyright 
issues.  The basic text will be Lessig's "Future of the Commons."  Again, 
nothing in the title about Linux, open source, etc.  "Special topics."  
Sounds boring, but really not.

Also, we are starting an online student journal using Slash running on a 
Pentium II/500, RedHat 7.2 (if memory serves).  A student set this up for 
last semester's senior seminar.  Again, you will be hard pressed to see the 
word "Linux" show up on the university web site in connection with this.  
Bummer.

So, the reason for these examples, please be aware that your counts will be 
approximate.  There are more courses out there using Linux than what you may 
find with a Google search.  As you publish your results, please mention this.
