Verizon with linux?

[waynecle]

Stephen,

 With the very short experience I had with Verizon, The answer is NO.

 In fact, when trying to talk with customer service at Verizon, I was
told in no uncertain terms, its windows or nothing, and promptly disconnected.

 It has now become a battle of business, money, and conrol. Be prepared
to be disappointed at many turns along the way. You e-mail has a quote at the
bottom, that speaks the truth.

                                                        Happy Computing
                                                            Wayne
