With regular Ubuntu 9.04 & 9.10 you just plug in your dongle, select your provider & you are good to go. It becomes even better on 9.10 because connecting via bluetooth to your cellphone and using it to browse is as easy as 1,2,3. Even someone with no linux skill can do it. Give a try you will not be disappointed. Kind regards, -- Lusiola Brian Everyone has photographic memory, not everyone has film though.
