Wrong. Why should "they" support Linux if nobody uses it?
I mention Linux in any business relation: ISP's, buying hardware,
shopping for services, etc. If they cannot cope with this, I know
I need to move elsewhere (and as a byproduct made few more clueless
hear the word Linux).
BTW: From my experience, if you need a support person that have
a clue (about networking, hardware, anything at all), your
best bet would be to locate their local "Linux guy".
It won't be easy (as there aren't so many of them), but insisting
specifically on Linux will be very effective "drone filter" ;-)
