Phil; Yes Linux can handle PDF files. You should have "xpdf" installed on
your system, but if not, you can also download Adobe's Acrobat Reader for
Linux from their site (www.adobe.com) . About your cablemodem and your ISP,
by any chance, have you changed your network card that connects to your
cablemodem? Depending on your ISP and your cablemodem, user authentication
is sometimes provided by the MAC address of your network card, and sometimes
by the MAC address of your cablemodem. If you've changed your NIC, the new
one will have a different MAC address, and therefore won't authenticate you
to your ISP. Linux shouldn't even enter into the picture. But you never
know. Just thought I'd throw this into the mix. Hope the info helps.
