they might not support Linux, but then again they don't support
Windows or Mac either really! They just give you an IP address and
connect you to the internet, and optionally you can use their mail
servers over standard protocols that are older than Windows and work
perfectly fine on Ubuntu.

Slightly related rant, what really grinds my gears are ISP who send
you a CD and say you MUST install this software to use the internet,
and then poor naive people do so, cluttering up their system and
having an awful, ugly IE with about 5 rows of toolbars for everything...
I say to them, 'when I visit you with my Linux netbook, I just enter
the wireless code and I'm on the Internet...I don't need to install
all that crap'. But then the annoying buggers think I'm being smart
and they install the software anyway. Well screw you and have fun with
your cluttered slow system.
Eh? I am on BT Internet and neither have I used their CD, nor have they
"installed it anyway". How can they "install it anyway" if you don't let
them?
