Were you able to get it to work as a modem as soon as you plugged it in? It did for me in ubuntu, within 5 secs of plugging in the phone, voila, GPRS on PC! beat that, I'm not talking about the phone being used as removable drives!
Hmm..I had to install the driver after which I was able to do this over my data cable,
Over bluetooth, I didn't check as I installed bluesoliel directly after which it workd fine.
Over the weekend, I picked a new HDD and then decided to build a xubuntu based standalone machine with old components lying in my storeroom
- it runs headless (no monitor, no keyboard, no mouse, just a power cable and ethernet cable)
Umm...never tried a headless downloader, but I have indeed tried a headless render farm for 3Ds Max using Backburner & Cube. So can't say anything for this.
sorry dude i got better things to worry about than setting up and downloading packages and libraries; i prefer a vlite/nlite installation
my regards and wishes to ur sis
Lolz...we are people who want to do our work, not to work on a machine to make it work for us. This is why Windows Rules
and why would downloading packages/libraries be any difficult than nliting an XP install?
Because nLiteing Windows XP installation requirs no internet connection.
Anyway dissing an OS because you need a net connection to use it well isn't really a valid -ve anymore as BB connections are available for cheap in nearly every part of the country even in India
Lolz...u guys are saying that Goverment of India should switch to Linux in govermant offices. Have u ever seen how many goverment offices are connected to broadband? Even railway uses ISDN based connections yaar
Even Vista needs a net connection for activation....
Or Phone
I now understand there are people who knows something about Linux and other *NIXens.and most techies are open to Linux esp Ubuntu.these morons(i dont want name calling again) here in the forum wants to stop the aspirants too.well,for that matter am not that cheap to start a Vista sucks thread(I have used Vista in friend's laptop) and dont want to tell that Vista sucks big time.
Our dear two M$ fanboys cannot come out of their shell.poor fella's,they are sold to Windows.I am sure that both of them receive support from M$ india.they may be members of msdn,technet,may be online FUD makers for Linux usage.
Plz mind your language. We all know who u r refering here.
^we dont want Linux to be Like Windows
Hmm..so u don't want Linux to be the most used OS out there, right? Seriously, go ahead & give a logical reply to iMav there.
MS could hav provided MySql and some opensource softwares bundled with VISTA and XP but hell it wont let then earn their bucks that way.
Right...gr8 logic. Then who is going to give support for these? MS can't give support cos they didn't make it. Many people don't even know about "Searching on ubuntu forums" for help ok, yaar seriously do u know anything about a business model?
Not even ogg/xvid support, i guess they are OS and no one will sue'em.
Again, not made by MS. However, try playing a xVid AVI in Vista without codecs & WMP11 gives option to download it automatically/
Most gamemaker receive big $$$ from M$ and nVidia(crysis\crytek and 8800's) to make games keeping in mind their interests.
HOLE F***
, ROFL....devil...u r saying something this stupid.
Most games using opengl can easily be ported to linux and os x but still they use DX(I don't know much about these api's but this is what the story is).
Because DirectX is made & optimised for Windows, while OpenGL isn't.
Ok now the main part,linux don't have media centre?Ever heard of MythTv/geebox?Tell me one thing your MCE does and these can't do.Watch dvds,listen to cd's,mp3's,watch TV,record it.....what else.
Hmm...MythTV refuses to work with my Pinnacle PCTV 100i while Vista MCE works fine.
