Yeah - that's what it says, but if you are in a
rush when you are looking it over you might miss
that last part - typical used-car-salesman type
of advertisement.

Also, I absolutely *refuse* to deal with *anyone*
who wants to limit my selections - be it OS or
servers - and I pay the money to Speakeasy (over
my wife's constant objections) for the ability to
run what I want.  Linux/static IP's/servers - I
can have it all.  According to the Speakeasy ToS,
I won't get limited or shut down unless I screw
up royally and give them a major black eye (or
don't pay the monthly fee... ;)

Just my .02 worth.
