As Eric Thelin can tell you with cox. He once called cox about an outage
and happened to mention that he was running linux on their service, then
later on when he called and was having problem with their service when his
machine was booted into WINDOWS they refused to help him because the first
person has added a note that said that he ran linux and they had a policy
that prevented them from supporting him anymore, even though it was a
supported OS question!!!!!!
Soooo, I will never mention that I run linux on my service... ever!
What a retarded policy!
