i'm also in Athens, GA, but I've not had any experiences that made me reboot. I too use a software solution with dns caching, and you are right, dns does stop responding.. but I never loose my connection for more than 5 minutes. I've not rebooted my gateway since the service rollover and the only reason I did that was to turn on dhcp, a switch from the manual setup I had previously.
I would recomend not declaring a major until you really need to. Focus at first on the core courses and if you attend a large school like I do (UGA) then your not going to fall behind at all.
I took the time to experiment with a wide array of classes like sociology, art, math, accounting etc.. and only after I saw what was available to me did I really have a firm grasp of what I wanted to do...eventually MIS....
If you focus your energy trying to answer the question "How do I get rich?" then when you do become rich all you'll want to know is "Now what?"
If you focus your energy trying to have a meaningfull college education, you may or may not get rich, but then again you will have gained something far valuable, "Peace of Mind".

I think there a several things that Linux really needs to succeed.
..
1) LSB compliance
2) A trully free distribution, not controlled by a company, to standardize on.
I wonder what would happen if these four companies filled some of the holes in debian?
1) a really good installer
2) optimized apt-repositories ( 586, 686) etc
3) good configuration tools
4) etc
Why not invest in a distro thats not going anywhere?
