Take Ubuntu for example, there is no 'in your face' pppoe (dsl) setup tool. Open a 'root' terminal window and type "pppoeconf" (without the quotation marks) and then hit the <enter> key. You will see a bunch of questions in a 'text' style interface. I answered yes (by hitting the <enter> key) to everything and had to type in my dsl provider supplied login name and password. I am posting this from Ubuntu 5.04. Really cool distro but I am not too fond of the 'simpleton' gnome desktop. Maybe if you are former 'Apple' user, you might like it but being a Micro$lop sucker up to now, I prefer KDE.
