I am a windows user, but I hate it. The moment I encountered linux, I was attracted to it. Don't know how but yesterday a thought came to my mind. I removed Windows XP from my hard disk & installed Fedora 9 on it. Now I am planning to permanently shift to linux and ditch windows forever. I want to do everything in linux from now on which I use to do in XP till date. I am leaving gaming too.
As you rightly guessed, I am a linux n00b. That's why I opened this thread & will be asking my queries here. I hope you will guide me in my journey.
Here is my first question :
1) The first essential thing I require is Internet. I searched a bit & configured my Nokia 5700 as a modem in Fedora 9. I used the wvdial method. Now whenever I issue the wvdial command it shows as connected, but I am unable to browse using firefox or use pidgin. I checked the wvdial.conf several times, still the problem continues.
How can this be solved?
I will be posting here from my phone as it is the only lone internet source I have.
The reason behind all this is, I want to learn linux in depth. I am ready to do any hardships for the same. If I succeed in becoming a linux pro someday, all credits to you people.![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
