Default Hooking up cable next Tuesday

and I am wondering if the cable guys are going to refuse to hook this computer up since it's Linux instead of Windows? I didn't tell the man yesterday that I was using Linux.

From the way he was talking, he won't be hooking it up.....he'll be sending someone else to do it. Not a lot of people around these parts deal with Linux anyway. I'm wanting to reinstall my Mandrake 10.1 Powerpack, so I'm not exactly worried about Suse that's on here. I suppose the worst thing that could be said is that he won't do it. :S

Default DCHP

If it's not DCHP, is it likely to be something else reasonably easy to setup?
