[DLC] COL on Linux?

[Larry Garfield]

Be that as it may, the question is how to get credit at DePaul (so that you DO 
get the degree) without having to run Windows.  So OpenCourseware is really 
beside the point, unless one wanted to nudge DePaul toward using their 
technology for COL instead, which would be awesome but very very 
unlikely. :-)

"If nature has made any one thing less susceptible than all others of 
exclusive property, it is the action of the thinking power called an idea, 
which an individual may exclusively possess as long as he keeps it to 
himself; but the moment it is divulged, it forces itself into the possession 
of every one, and the receiver cannot dispossess himself of it."  -- Thomas
