[sf-lug] ISPs that are good for Linux

[David Sterry]

I've only ever had problems with Comcast on a GNU/Linux box since they 
have a Windows-only tool that registers the cable modem. AT&T does 
everything through a web browser and is agnostic about OS as far as I 
can tell. Most of AT&T's more recent modems save the username and 
password for PPPoE so your os doesn't have to worry about that.
