Hello,
Apologies for this non-Drupal request, but this group seems more likelythan most to have some Linux users in it. If you have a recommendation for an ISP that is friendly to Linux users, I would love to hear about it. I am particularly interested in hearing whether anyone's gotten a "dongle" connection working on Linux. I'm using Ubuntu 10.04 netbook remix on a netbook. If this post is too off-topic, please just delete and let me know.
Thank you.

Great Help!
I appreciate the above posts very much. Thank you! I'll go to the mailing list and post, but I will also use and share this info with the windows-oriented team at work which is already frustrated with me, I'm afraid, after a week. They are using Reliance, so I will start there. The 3g is exciting, though!
Thanks again,
David
