I ran some analysis of the data gathered from our Zero Cost Athena logs.
(This log is fed by a web page we tell people to use, and by email sent
by the SIPB Athena installer.)

Probably the most important thing I gathered from this data is that it
would NOT have helped me see that there are apparently 150 Linux Athena
systems in EECS.  I'll take that up with my EECS contact tomorrow.

So my guess is that this system is RADICALLY under-reporting the
penetration of Zero Cost Athena, and Linux Athena.

I will discuss with Release Team alternatives for making a more robust
registration system.  Until then, here are the stats on the Honor System.

The online Zero-Cost Athena registration was first used 30 September 2001.

As of: 3 January 2002

496 systems had been registered.

107 of the 496 as Student systems needing to pay no fees.
 98 of the 496 listed a department.
 54 systems listed account numbers to charge. All 54 with account numbers
	specified a department.

Of systems registered naming a department, the counts
of per-department registrations are:

      1	Aero-Astro
      1	CEE
      1	EECS / LCS
      1	Francis Bitter Magnet Lab
      1	IS
      1	ISP
      1	LCS
      1	LIDS

      3	Physics
      6	Chemical Engineering
      8	EMCC
      9	EECS
     27	Whitaker College Computing Facility

337 of the 496 listed a contact person.
263 people registered a single machine.

The most machines registered to a single person is 13.
All 107 student-registered machines have a contact.

292 of the 496 named no location.  (204 did)

The largest number of machines in a single location is: 7
94 machines are the sole registered machine in that room.

Of the 204 that named a location, the counts per room are:
