I am still new to linux and fumbling my way thru things. Seems to me there has been some discussion of using DSL with linux, but at the time I was not able to get DSL where I live. Just learned it is now available here. Will someone point my in the direction of how to access prior threads of discussions on this list (ala DSL - especially on Verizon)?

Will someone point my in the direction of how to access prior threads of discussions on this list (ala DSL - especially on Verizon)? For the most part it is very straightforward. But, I recommend that you get a CableModem/DSL router. These are very inexpensive, provide some firewall capability, and the capability to run multiple systems.
Verizon uses the PPPoE protocol.
For connecting your system directly to Verizon DSL, use YaST/Network
Devices/DSL. Should be a piece of cake.
