hex.net, which happens to be where I'm posting from, is a most definitely
Linux-friendly ISP in the DFW area.

- Almost all servers run Linux

- There is an arrangement with NTLug (North Texas Linux Users Group -
<http://www.ntlug.org>, as follows:

"NTLUG and Hex.Net ISP Agreement: If you're looking for an ISP with great
customer service and support, you really should consider Hex.Net. Hex.Net
makes a donation to NTLUG for every new customer we refer."

- Entertaining/unique thing: they use a satellite news feed.  Unfortunately
on the satellite that just became unavailable, so that later today
(Saturday) the feed gets moved to a different satellite...

There are, no doubt, some other options; this is almost certainly the most
"Linux-friendly" option...
