My RoadRunner installer was pretty glum the whole time he was running cable, which took a fair amount of time. When it came time to get do the computer install I was prepared for a lot of crap, but when I told him I was running Linux he cheered up, and said "That's great - this will be easy then" (which, of course, it was). After that I couldn't get the guy to shut up and go away so I could play with my new net connection...
