I use OpenOffice.org 1.0.2 and 1.1.0 on Suse 8.2 and Mandrake 9.1 for 
preparing lectures (System Strategy, Modelling Of Information Systems, 
Information Modelling And Development, Distributed Programming) and for 
producing research material.

The other coordiantor of the research group uses OpenOffice.org 1.1.0 on 
RedHat 9.0/Fedora and Mandrake 9.2 also for teaching purposes.

I use Bluefish and Quanta for managing the website of our research group, 
which is hosted on Apache.

My students on Distributed Programming use SuSE 8.2 for their tutorial on 
distributed programming and security (8 students). We have a laboratory with 
some 10 machines with the operative system on.

4 of my students are working on OS issues for their dissertation (Mandrake 9.2 
for a project on grid computing (2 students), Mandrake 9.2 for a project on 
E-Marketing for no-profit (1 student), 1 student on theoretical issues).

Students of a colleague use SuSE 8.2 for a course on Fundamentals Of 
Information Systems ( am not sure about the number of students).

Just my 2£
