That's Ubuntu Linux,
and the support is the same as for any other user--if you don't have a clueless ISP.
If your ISP is a bunch of idiots that can only read from a prepared script
which only deals with Windoze, then yes those morons can cause you headaches.

ISPs that tell you **what software you can run** are idiots to be avoided.

Complete nonsense. As stated previously in this thread,
all you need from an ISP is an IP address (or a phone number if it's dial-up).

Running any software that an ISP gives you is STUPID.
It bloats up your system with unnecessary crap
and is often so poorly written that it causes you problems.
A competent ISP **doesn't care** what software you run.
THAT IS THE WHOLE POINT OF THE INTERNET.
