There's no such thing as a stupid question, and even if you disagree courtesy helps.

There's some discussion of Freeola here and here. I think one of those threads mentions that UKFSN offers the same service for £19.99, so you may wish to take advantage of the 3 month discount from Freeola and then migrate. I can't comment on how easy it is to migrate away, but there does seem to be a system in place for this. As I mentioned before, the service itself is very good.0

I don't think you need a different Adsl to get online with Linux, currently trying out Puppy2 linux and connected using my normal details.I'd rather be an Optimist and be proved wrong than a Pessimist and be proved right.0

I don't think that's necessarily true. I've had various dual-boot setups over the past 2-3 years and I've managed to configure mandrake, suse and ubuntu to connect to broadband services from Wanadoo, ADSL4less and/or Freeola. The only difficulty I ever had was in getting hold of and installing the appropriate firmware for my modem.computerwoman wrote:Thanks for that, I'm very interested in Linux and did'nt realise that you needed different adsl's and bb to run it Duh!0 -

Agreed but if you use a basic router you don't need any drivers!
