I've currently got a Mac and Windows box, but have in the past ran many
flavors of Linux there.

They don't block port 80 (or at least didn't for me) but I can't say on
port 25, never used it.

Have never asked, but that said, my IP address hasn't changed much in
the past few years.

If you run NAT, why do they have to know?

Occasional downtimes, but it has been great.

Good luck with it, you'll do fine, and have better speeds.
