I've used Charter for years and its always worked with Linux and Windows. The one time I had a problem, the tech on the phone found that he couldn't ping my router. The OS on the other side is a non-factor.
I have been using Charter as well, since they have offered cable broadband access. I did have Verizon DSL before that, for about a year, and I had a horrible experience. My experience with Verizon had nothing to do with my operating system, it had to do with the ancient copper that was in my house. I do remember having to use Roaring Peguin's PPoE client with Mandrake 7.2. It established a connection at boot. I guess if I had a router in place I wouldn't have had to do that. http://www.roaringpenguin.com/products/pppoe
