I've run into trouble with a section of service my cable provider is offering. I'm a Linux user, specifically Linux Mint. My cable provider says that the service on offer is not compatible with Linux systems, and that I could try either Windows or Mac. I could understand better if this was 2004 or so, but Linux has surely been around long enough to be included in the list of OS's that'll work with a service. Maybe there's something inherently difficult about Linux, not sure.
