That's my thinking too.  I think most all of them are OS neutral.  They
just have a web page to manage them and that's it.  I'm getting giddy
about that sort of speed coming here tho.  Not long ago, you had to be
in town close to a provider and pay a arm and leg to get that sort of
speed.  Now, a little guy can have it.  One that lives out in the sticks
at that.  I'm going to see if I can get more info about the box I
connect too.  That'll give me something to google for and find info about. 

I did think of one thing tho.  I got to find a network card that is
faster.  The one I have now tops out at 100MBs.  It's a old school
type.  I'll have to get a fancy 1GB version I guess.  Hmmmm, I think my
router is 1GB ready.  I may have to recheck that. 

Michael is posting more info on this.  Even tho the alternative has
systemd in the name, I don't think it is coded by the systemd devs.  It
just happens to work with and be tailored around systemd.
