Lucky you. Couple of friends of mine chose the 'data cabling' option from the electrical contractor for their new homes (maybe 2-3 years ago) when they were under construction. The rails on the wall were equipped with RJ11 connectors! Totally useless for LAN, but ok for phone cables and thus xDSL.
What my electrical contractor did was install Cat 3, daisy chain them together, run them through the same holes as the AC wiring, have them touching the heating ducts, sharp bends, cable so cheap the insulation was already cracking on it, etc. He did everything wrong.
But that probably wouldn't be a problem today.
Another note -- I would use virtualization these days when several OSs are needed.
I tried that and gave up on it: 1. virtual box wouldn't work, until I downloaded the sun version 2. upgrading Ubuntu cause them to all cease functioning
