> The other problem of course is wireless. Of course? My experience with wireless is that it's worked better in linux than windows (or just as well in 1 case). I've tried an Asus and a Belkin USB wireless dongle (neither of them chosen by me or with linux in mind) on 2 different computers. In windows the connection keeps dropping; in linux it works perfectly. While the connection drops on the windows machine i've been using it fine on another linux machine so I know it's not the AP throwing a wobbly. 2 different APs were involved too one was belkin but I can't remember what the other was other than it was blue (not helpful I know). Also in linux it just worked (tm). in windoze there was much faffing with drivers that didn't want to install and/or wouldn't persist after a reboot. Admittedly it's not an enormous sample set so I might have been "lucky". None of this kit was mine. On my laptop it works just as well in either and I just have to contend with the AP crashing and the cat attacking the modem. -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/linux_adm/list-faq.html
