I'm just gaining experience with it. Mom just got hooked up this week. It was about half the price of her cable connection and more than double the down stream speed.

They use PPPoE so hookup was no big deal. I really don't care if they support Linux or Windows or even SCO. I'm not looking for my ISP to support my OS. I just want them to provide the data connection.

So far, so good.
