Hey, what do you know...me too...of course, I work for Concentric. :)
With DSL, it shouldn't matter what OS you run or anything. You will
be given a DSL "router" which you can plug straight into an ethernet
card of a machine...or plug into a hub. I have this sort of setup:
DSL router -> freebsd with bridging patches -> hub -> other machines
^^^ being used as firewall
my "other machines" are many different OSes :)
