Ubuntu Linux

hi, quick question @ all. i often find myself stuck wit dialup as my only means of gettin online esp on travels. so i need my pc suite 2 connect my fone. hw do i install my pc suite? or even beta my .exe files? i hav some stuff am into like football mgr. av not seen .deb versions n google has not given me answers. hw man wan cope wit? esp d dial up issue anyway

sad but true; at least for now

thanks at all, i got onto the wine and other softwares part. but the reason i raised the issue is like under windows u cant use dial up on some networks unless u use pc suite to enter the apn in the connection. as in thats part of the networks authentication. of course u can always use the the network wizard 4 others. i dont think ubuntu's dial upwizard has that authentication thingy does it? anyway its a minor problem,i just have to shell out for a card i guess. but its annoying to have to pay 4 internet not much better than dial up when i can hiaaj then dial up f.o.c. but its possible for the pc suite to work under wine??? hope it does.

Guys oh!
Need your help seriously!! I was upgrading frm felicia 2 gloria using d safe steps i saw on mint blog; i was almost done but cdnt cmplit cos of NEPA & nw i find it hard 2 sucesfuly boot in2 d gmone dsktp,it logs in smtyms but most tym it givs an error msg & i hv 2 punch in CRTL+D keys in order 2 restat again
Pls hw can i resolve dis cos reinstalln i'll hv 2 stat updating all ova again!!
Tnx

a clean install is the best way really. for a successful upgrade, a reliable internet connection is a major factor, something  our isp here can not guarantee us. i gave up trying to follow the upgrade path for mint7

CHEI!!!

Guys am working on a custom version of ubuntu optimized for maths, statistics, and science students generally. It is originally developed for the University were i work. but i hope to share it with people freely once am done. This version of ubuntu is based on jaunty jackalope. and its will be called Ubuntu AUST Edition (after African University of Science and Technology the school were i work and which i developed it for use by our students) currently all is done. but the cd is till at beta and am currently testing it. but its been stable so far. it comes preinstalled with many science educational tools like Scilab, Octave, kile Latex etc. Once am done i hope to distribute it freely.
