Ubuntu 6.06 does that too ;)

I downloaded the Mandriva One 2007 beta 2 recently and it FUCKING ROCKS. Out of the box compiz support with the free ATi drivers, it doesnt get any better than that.

I live in the same area as you.  (Well, at the moment, I live on a college campus away from that, but nonetheless.)  DSL is $43, and DSL Lite is $30, I think.  It's only 256kbps, but it's worth it.  Also, using a Mac won't matter to them since the service is just DHCP or PPPoE, which is trivial.  I don't recall my parents having to pay anything for wiring (our house is ~32 years old), and the modem was just part of the monthly fee.

I can't think of any reason to stick with dial-up.  And even then...why are you paying $21 a month for it?  Certainly you can get it for much less than that.  I see $14.95 NetZero commercials all the time.

If you think about it how many times can they afford time to make and release a new iso for you to burn and make sure it is stable on as many systems as possible. Most distros release new isos every once in a while (like Fedora every 6-12 months). Unless the distro releases them say every 3 years, then it shouldn't be significantly outdated. Besides, sometimes newer versions of software are far more buggy and have many more problems than previous versions (this has happened several times) ... so in this case you may want to wait a bit so the bugs can be sorted out (really only in the case of major bugs ... which are probably the ones you're going to notice)
