I have used Linux as my primary Mediaone box for the past year or so. Earlier versions of SuSE had some scripting problems, but 6.4 has been very solid. While I have not done so, you can change your MAC address in software, at least for most network cards. The DHCPD daemon reads a configuration file, where you can set up things like the MAC address.
