Try: 

texas.net
metronet.com
august.net (they are my provider)

In my years of ISP work, I've always wondered what people mean/meant by
"support".  You may think it is a silly question but different people do
mean different things when they ask "does ISP XYZ support linux?".  Some
people are merely asking if Linux will work as a client and others are
wanting to know that, if they use Linux and have a problem, there will
be a tech. on the other end of phone who knows what you're talking
about.

So, what do you mean by "support"?
