If you live in (or near) DC you should check out Advanced 2000 in Alexandria, VA. They dont build machines with Linux preinstalled but you can have custom built machines that come without an OS. And everything is wholesale prices, so you can build a really fast, cheap machine and not have to fork over any windows tax.
I disagree...
Ive never had my service cut-off for running something im "not supposed to". But i have seen in my logs, many times, connections from authorized.scan1.home.com (or something along those lines) checking out my box. My friend has seen the same thing. Now, they may scan everyone on their network, but you cant say they dont check for stuff.
