There's also the UK's Open University http://www.open.ac.uk/ which I believe accepts students from all over the world. I just started MU120 which is a level 1 maths course. The quality is very high and I'm amazed at how much of the maths I learnt at school 35+ years ago is coming back. The OU's degrees are proper validated awards, not some bogus qualification.
When I switched to Linux, Xara was the only app I missed. I am delighted to hear a Linux version is available. It really is very good indeed -- very powerful, flexible and easy to learn. I tried a few alternative vector drawing apps for Linux but the ones I found were dreadful.
In the UK yes, but so expensive I doubt they get much business. They want UKP 9.99/month for 6 DVDs. Typically, others charge UKP 15/month for 3 at a time, say 12 a month if you watch and return them quickly.
