nearly all ISP uses raw ethernet TCP/IP (cable modem) or ppp or slip
all these connection methods are supported by LINUX so even if the ISP
does not support LINUX chances are that LINUX can be used anyway.
you can install software packages when you want, add some and suppress
others just when you want.
all distributions have a mean to do that (redhat rpm software packages
are wellknown and easy to install/uninstall with "rpm" or "glint").
x-windows is just a "GUI engine" that can not help a lot without fine
tuned window managers or integrated environment. if you don't like yours,
either tune it to your preferences or install another one (kdeand gnome
are best suited if you want a windows95 feeling)
a good wordprocessor ? try wordperfect and staroffice, both a free for
home use.

Subject: Questions, questions, and more questions
Are there any free ISP's that support Linux? Is it possible to install
more Linux software after the initial installation without starting all
over again? Can you recommend any Linux sites that have interesting
Linux
software besides the packages for the distribution? Xwindows doesn't look
as sophisticated or interesting as Windows 95', how can I change that?
What's a good wordprocessor for Linux?
