Linux or Windows Operating System?

Man, wassup with the suspence?  Please let me know how you configured your stuff.

I think the reason it worked is because there's a string for the apn in the intialization string of your modem.  Go to Control Panel -> Phone and Modem. Select your motorola phone (you should be able to figure it out) and check it properties.  Click the Advanced Tab (or check through all the tabs, can't fully remember) and check out the Extra Initialization String. We're near the promise land concerning this issue.

@fissayo i guess the gprs stuff is no longer important cause free gprs is ending on the 25th 

I feel you Afolabi.  I really wish that the service is affordable, at least, I'm sure that I will have access to it again.

@fissayo you can try mtel i heard it was free

Thanks to wine. i can install Wolfenstein into my windows partition and play it on my fedora linux.with wine the game is loaded without hitch into my linux box and i'm pretty getting addicted to the game now.Gotten to mission 4:catatomb, and have been battling with the fire razing zombies!

Hw do i install softwares in ubuntu when i av d files on my desktop?

@hayprof just click on it and it installs itself incase you encounter dependency problem note the file that is needed, then just go to the page you downloaded from and you can see the file and download it. you can also see your linux partition in windows and write to it go to http://fs-driver.org/ i've used it before and it works also since you said you wanted to make a data partition you can use ext3 instead of fat32 since using this fs driver you are able to read and write in both os. am online meet me on msger  for futher assistance 

Men my main board gave me some series of post error that occur when ram is faulty and i tried 4 different ram of the same speed and also tried power pack the error still persist until i examine the board in daylight and discover that one of the data bus is broken that i.e all the thin line on the board got burnt and some resistor so the board has gone home after about 2  years of hard use 4 power pack got burnt on it so it has really served me. Am bargaining 4 a P4 main board from one of my guy. Cheerio[font=Lucida Sans Unicode][/font]

Afo give me the full statistic of that your board like the maybe it comes with processor when you got it and all those stuff cos i just wan go buy processor 2.8 ghz new one around 9 thousand into a board with pocket 478 so throw more light b4 i waste my hard earned dough .Cheerio

Esquire, does your guy have more motherboards to sell?  A P4 at that price is quite unbelievable.  Be sure of what you're getting as afolabi as suggested.  Have you tried using an AMD machine?  It's really nice and I think that you should give it a shot.  Been using mine for quite some time and very impressed.

well good luck to you cause i don't seem to understand what you're saying is it that board = 17000 i wonder what kind of board and processor = 9000 thats way to cheap for a p4

Easiest way to install is like any Debian based distro using apt-get install,  or better still use Synaptic. Synaptic will take care of all dependencies.

If the file is on your desktop, then right click on the file and click install with package installer.

@niggy please i need this linux abeg.  adeyinkasule@gmail.com

I think linux users need to stop thinking windows users are lazy as an excuse not to provide proper documentation. I don't think Googling to solve the smallest problem is an answer. we aren't talkng about Linux vs Windows for IT geeks (even though i used to be one), we're talking Windows vs Linux for regular, everyday people!

I've got a friend that's been trying to get me to switch to linux. I haven't been bothered to do that, cos i game once in a while and playing old games (like Wolfenstein or Doom) doesn't cut it for me. However, I decided to install Linux on my Playstation 3, and i dutifully installed Yellow Dog Linux. Aside for the text-heavy bootup screens, i havta say that the damn thing isn't quite there in terms of user-friendliness. Imagine, to install VLC, i hadto get and install several rpms, worry about dependencies and other crapolas. To install Mplayer, i had to untar, run make, configure etc. To use mplayer to play a file, i had to run a command, because these linux geeks don't even think that a GUI is useful. You actually have to get the GUI skin files seperately, and then run make and then configure gui command.
Sadly, since i had already done the installation without GUi, i kept gettign errors when i tried to install the GUi version. i searched in vain for a way to uninstall programs, thanks to the non inclusion of any 'help' feature whatsoever.
FInally the installation came through, after several sweaty moments. Now i can play the files with mplayer, but i have to use a command when i want to play in fullscreen.

At times that makes me long for the ease of installing ONE .exe file to solve all my problems, !

well i can still say people are still un-informed. who says linux is not userfriendly?The lazy i guess?
Let get one thing straight if you like windoze,fine no wahala. if you are for linux, it's yr choice. I ve been using redhat/fedora releases for more than 2 years now and i ve not missed ma windoze. i feel comfortable using the gui and learning the commandline all the time. it's pretty fun having new things to discover and learn about your os and hardware. e.g i just got  a philips tv card which i m configuring on my fedora. fine, it's not working out-of-the-box but it's have made me to learn more about tv cards and tuner in such a few time. i now know about bttw and saa7134 tv chipsets and their various tuners. i like learning. But everything is a matter of choice.
People learn windoze in a way, only dat there aint much to learn there. Like i ask ma friends back at skol, "what's the difference between you and the female typist at the Student Union Building using windoze?" practically what you can boast about windows as a graduate, they know it too . The computer students in ma school are now running around to get an edge by learning linux. That's it, you sometimes need the edge. i can drop to windoze anytime without worry. So i spend ma precious times learning linux to get the edge.
