What do you mean by 'official Linux support'? Does this include
helpdesk support? If yes, what distributions do the helpdesk people know?
This is not their job.
From a technical point of view, I prefer ISPs who
support official
standards like TCP/IP, DHCP (and PPPoE for DSL) rather than those who
support specific operating systems.
I fully agree. I mean they use internally Linux and OpenOffice, and they
know what kind of router/ADSL modem works with Linux. They will nerver
tell you if you have a network problem "Hey, you are running Linux ?
That's the problem ! Our network is designed only for ... running
computers ! Read the general terms and conditions !"
utilisent
OpenOffice
These are company internals. As long as they write *plain-text*
E-Mails to communicate with their customers, instead of sending
attached Word or OO files (or at least use standards like HTML or PDF).
They indeed send plain-text mails or PDFs, no proprietary format.
This is hidden advertising. They may provide a good
service, but I see
no good reason for Linux users to switch to this ISP because of
ethnical/philosophical/opensource policical reasons.
No. I'm just a satisfied customer. I'm not paid for that. I just give
good news as soon as I receive it. If you don't want to know about good
linux-friendly luxembourish ISPs, just skip my message...
By the way, I used
www.netcraft.com to identify the
operating system
behind
www.alternet.lu:
http://www.alternet.lu was running Alternet on Windows 2000 when last
queried at 16-Jul-2004 13:03:46 GMT
Greetings, Patrick Kaell
I didn't told they run only Linux. And their web server is operated by
an another company, so far... Who cares ? What I want to avoid is the
conditions expressed in other ISP contracts, saying that you MUST use
m$t w$ to use their service...
