I've been using Linux (SuSE) since last June, and have never had a problem using it with Comcast.  It worked right from the get go.  I primarily have kept Windows on this, in the event of a connection issue.  The few problems that have occurred since I had the service, have always been on their end.

At least with Linux, I can listen to CD's, without static cling.  :-)
