BT are bad and evil people (or at the very least, hideously incompetent), don't give them money for ADSL unless there are no alternative suppliers in your area. I've found Pipex quite reliable out here in the sticks, but ymmv.
Linux ADSL is a matter of installing a bit of freely downloadable software and then putting your username and password into a file somewhere. Unless you actually want to go the house-LAN-with-firewall route, you don't have to - it's not a bad idea to put some kind of security on a broadband connection though.
