I'm considering DSL for myself at home.  I've already checked out the Verizon
site and I am about 6,000 ft or so away from the c.o., so I'm ok on that
 front. I am wondering if there's anything new regarding Verizon DSL in
 regards to Linux.  How Linux friendly are they these days?  I know from
 reading their website that I'm probably on my own for supporting linux on
 their DSL, but that's ok I figured that.  Any problems or other
 considerations I should be looking into?  Besides buying a DSL/cable modem
 router, that's already on the 'to buy' list.  I know it's about a 3 week
 wait I believe for the setup date. Also a friend of mine in NYC just got
 hers 2 weeks ago, and had to go through a setup program on her windows box. 
 Is this just setting up pppoe?  Or does it also setup the DSL modem?  Am I
 correct in thinking that it's just the pppoe and I can just setup my linux
 box with pppoe and setup the DSL router and be done with it.  Or should I
 just plug in my win95 harddrive and let the setup program setup the DSL
 modem then fire up linux and finish setting up linux and the DSL router?

Thanks for any advice.
