Linux and satellite internet

Hi, all-

I have a couple of friends with zero computer experience, who live in a
rural area, and want a PC with internet access. They do know enough to
know that Windoz bloz, so they want a Linux box, and because they live
far from cable access, they are interested in satellite internet. I
browsed the web for info, but it looks like most of the satellite
set-ups are not set up to work with Linux.

Do any of you have info on a satellite internet provider that is Linux
friendly?
