We at the Arava Development Co. offer internet access, mail with spam
and virus filtering, personal home pages (and we also maintain the arava
website) for about 450 subscribers. While we don't have any official
support people for Linux users we are quite sympathetic to using and
distributing FOSS, and we'll do whatever we can to help users get
connected with free OS's. (Some of our subscribers use various Linux
distros). Our servers run CentOS, and much of the network management
software I use is FOSS.
We'll welcome any disenchanted ex-Actcom customers to join us.

I'd be willing to approach our upstream Internet access provider about
promising support for Linux users if the demand should arise, including
the suggestion for "community based support" as mentioned earlier in
this thread.
