In two years I've lost my connection three times. The first time I called Comcast, the person gave me the "we don't support Linux" diatribe. But during the next problem, I had to go to "level 2" support or some such thing because they had a DNS problem. The guy at that level didn't seem to flinch when I told him I was on a Linux box. And this last time (about 5 months ago) I was on the line with a woman who didn't seem to care that I was running Linux, and in fact was somewhat impressed that I could ifdown/ifup my NIC so quickly and without rebooting my computer. I always _expect_ resistance, but I've been pleasantly surprised more often than not with Comcast. Miark
