[Ubuntu-PH] Ubuntu Inquiry

[JC John Sese Cuneta]

Hi,

I do not know if this will be of help: 
http://blog.ibeentoubuntu.com/2010/01/plight-of-ubuntu-users-in-developing.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+IBeenToUbuntu+%28I%27+Been+to+Ubuntu%29

Have some friends having problems using Karmic if their OS is the one 
that must dial-up and not the modem itself.  They say that there are no 
options whatsoever to do it unlike pre-Karmic.  Then there are other 
users around the world reporting the same thing.

I can not test it myself because my modem does the dialing.  It has 
something to do with PPP or something.  And as the article linked above 
said, one must connect to the Internet to download what they need (PPP 
or something) but how can they connect if they can not even dial?  :p

Anyway, they won't be upgrading anytime soon.  Only solution is for them 
to "learn" how to get what they need from a public terminal and "learn" 
how to install it once they get back to their own machine.

Regards,

--
