Linux-friendly ISPs?



Amy,

It should not matter what ISP you choose unless that is you are lookng for 
actual support for Linux.  In that case I have no idea as I've always just 
dialed or jacked in to whatever ISP I was using at the time.  Dont let anyone 
fool you - PPP (dial-up) is PPP, whether on Linux or Windows or whatever.

I can't comment on SuSE, as I'm a RedHat bigot.  

Good Luck!
