The first Internet service provider targeted for Linux
users in the UK is up and running.

“Offering unlimited Internet access and no subscription charges,
the United Kingdom’s first Linux/open-source ISP, UKLinux.net, is
now on-line. Available only within the UK, UKLinux.net offers up to
128Kbps ISDN connections, MySQL and PostgreSQL facilities, and
local mirrors of the most popular Linux distributions.”

“In addition to bringing Linux-friendly Internet service to the
UK, UKLinux.net also aspires to be a major Linux portal site for
open-source/free-software projects, organizations and individuals.
The UKLinux.net support area provides online assistance and
discussion forums. The ISP also indexes UK Linux User Groups in its
LUG section.”
