Yes, but I'm nowhere near Jacksonville.  I'll think of you all as I go
play in the snow this afternoon.  I'll think of you and how much I miss
the beach.  :)

I'll throw in a pitch for Addy & Associates (addy.com), a reliable and
friendly web hosting firm in Callahan, FL (just north of town).  Full
disclosure: I worked there for 6 months in 1997, and have known the owner
for many years.  Since I noticed your email address, I'll also throw in
the caveat that Alltel is their phone company, although I don't recall the
service being particularly bad (except for that little snag when they
moved the T1 a couple years ago).  I think their primary net connection is
still through Digex.

They're BSD-based, but that's not Linux-unfriendly, anyway.  Unlike many
ISPs, they're open about system status, friendly enough that they'll fudge
the bandwidth numbers if you didn't quite stay within your limits, and
have few restrictions on shell access and CGI programming.
