Far from being the first dual-mode handset we’ve seen (heck, it’s not even the first WiMAX-friendly dualie), Qsida’s recently showcased slider is still quite intriguing. The currently unnamed cellphone supports both 802.16e WiMAX as well as GSM / GPRS / EDGE networks, and just in case you’re hankering for another way to get connected, there’s a built-in WiFi module too. Reportedly, the smartphone is a test device used in the M-Taiwan initiative to promote WiMAX, and aside from handling voice calls via (almost) any flavor of wireless protocol, you’ll also find Windows Mobile 6.1 running the show. Granted, this particular unit wasn’t down with 3G, but a spokesperson was adamant that such a handset would be added to its portfolio eventually.

Sure, the picture on the purchase page shows the little guy running Xandros — but read the fine print ya’ll. That’s right, the moment some of you have been waiting for has finally descended upon us like the enraged, ancient dragons of yore. The Windows XP equipped ASUS Eee PC is now available at Best Buy. For just $399.99, you can experience the totally okay performance that is this 7-inch master of destruction. Enjoy it now, but remember, those 9-inch models are just around the corner.

(Linux Aware Visitors can Directly Jump to Para 4)

After Microsoft’s Windows & Apple’s Mac, the ever growing community in todays OS market is linux. It is based on UNIX, the oldest stable and significant ‘operating system’. Actually Linux means Linux Is Not UniX, developed by Linus Torvelous and others.

Enough of these history lessons, today linux is a very common name among netizens. Being a growing community as I said before, it is in a state of constant development. Though today’s linux ‘distros’ (actually distributions) are efficient enough for normal users, many people has a common misunderstanding regarding linux in thinking it a geeky OS. But in reality it’s not after all a geeky thing. Of course, when you are thinking better customization in linux, you must have to use the terminal but for normal uses, it does not need to have a computer degree to run linux. Now it is as easy as running Windows or Mac.

Let’s stop myth-busting and now we will getting to the point. I have to mention that though well-developed, linux has some advance options that need to be tweaked to get through. I will discuss those in this thread.

1. Configuring a PPPOE or PPPOA connection in Ubuntu Feisty Fawn

There is no direct graphical application to connect to a PPPOE or PPPOA internet connection using GNOME in Ubuntu. So user have to open the terminal and enter “sudo -s” (without quotes) in there. It will ask the root password, enter it. Then type “pppoeconf”, a new window will appear as pictured below..

Then press enter selecting Yes; it will scan for ethernet devices and then prompt you to load the default profile for your ADSL modem. You will have to select these settings by pressing yes and ok when necessery. You will then have to enter your username and password for internet connection. Press enter to save and select whether you want the connection to be started at boot time. Now when the wizard completes, you are ready to go.

If you have selected to manually start a net connection, then you have to start ‘terminal’
and enter your “pon dsl-provider” following ’sudo -s’. The connection will be started.

The most common linux problems on your hp laptops can be solved by calling the troubleshooting team. Refer to your laptop guide for problems or order one if you don’t have one. The online guide will walk you through the installing laptop accessories section with ease. Check the sony laptop history for any changes in the computer before buying a used laptop scrap laptops or refurbished laptops. Refurbished dell laptops might be better than the original. When buying a refurbished digital camera, read the digital camera reviews first.

Linux is a very sophisticated OS, it’s getting easier for commons but advance techniques surely need some serious linux nerds. I have seen that many people have some nVidia or Ati graphics cards having AGP port. And it is a tiresome work to make these card to run new linux distros. read more

This is what our forum member Abhishek Dwivedi Found……..

Microsoft Windows XP has been the most successful of the Windows Range of Operating Systems by Microsoft.
When I got my very first Computer assemble I had no knowledge about operating system, so the computer shopee guy installed Windows XP sp-2 on to my machine.
Since then this little piece of clicks and tricks has fascinated me a lot.
When I got internet connection on my system 3 years back, XP turned out to be a nightmare. I always had an updated AVG but still due to all my downloads I had enough virus’s which forced me to Reinstall the whole OS once in 2 weeks and that was when I started looking on the security features Provided by Windows XP.
