Am I the only one who read the title and started wondering how the magnetic "BuckyBalls" toy ended up in outer space?

With the [internet browsing] improvements that the Opera browser brings, maybe iPhone users will have less chances to notice how flaky AT&T's service is, thus raising the overall satisfaction level with Apple and AT&T.

I work for the IT Department at a university in Virginia. It was within the last two years that I noticed students trying to use Linux (mostly Ubuntu) outside of the classroom setting. Ever since then, I have worked with our Network Engineers and Support Technicians to make sure that we have support for Linux in-place. We have tested Ubuntu, Fedora, and OpenSUSE (to cover the main basis of RedHat-based, Debian-based, and SUSE-based distributions that we had been seeing). At this point, less than a year after we really started pushing to have support for them, we can now proudly say that our university supports these distributions (and similar derivatives) on our residential network (where students are required to register their computers), on our wireless network, with our online classroom/course system, and even with our campus-wide printing program (print from your resident hall, class, or wherever and pick it up at a campus printer).
 

While being able to offer this support is great, I can almost certainly say that none of our tour guides would probably know anything about us having Linux support (they would direct the student to our IT Helpdesk to ask the question there). Hopefully, that will change in years to come, as Linux becomes more prominent across our campus (presently about 73% Windows, 26% Mac, and just shy of 1% are using Linux; ~3200 total residential students). Just thought I'd share some of my experiences here. :-)
