Fwd: Windows Free Laptop (one more)

These MSI laptops are with freeDos I have an MSI Wind U100 and love it. It's small, lightweight and has a full sized keyboard. I run Windows XP Pro English (not the Hebrew Home version that came with it), a BSD variant, and carry a disk on key that boots Ubuntu. Since they decided not to include the Wifi drivers for it on the latest version (the one with it it won't be out until April), I did not bother allocating disk space to Ubuntu. If I had installed it, I could have manually installed the WiFi. I do about 75% of what I do under BSD, and almost all of the other 25% via ssh and now Xwindows to a Linux computer (also running Ubuntu). I only boot Windows to load a device driver that is not available for either Linux or BSD, and once it is loaded they will work with the device. Before I got the device, I booted Windows once every 3 weeks or so.

Re: Windows Free Laptop (one more)
Just FYI: - I happened to be today at an Ivory shop (http://www.ivory.co.il/) A friend had bought a computer from Ivory last year, fully assembled in case with PSU and it costs less than I could have built it for her just buying the CPU, memory, motherboard, and drives separately. It had a dual core Intel processor, 1GB ram, and it ran Kubuntu just fine. They seem like a decent shop with very good prices. She didn't have any problems so I don't know how their service is, though, but it is good to mention that I know at least one happy Ivory customer. -- Dotan Cohen http://what-is-what.com http://gibberish.co.il א-ב-ג-ד-ה-ו-ז-ח-ט-י-ך-כ-ל-ם-מ-ן-נ-ס-ע-ף-פ-ץ-צ-ק-ר-ש-ת ا-ب-ت-ث-ج-ح-خ-د-ذ-ر-ز-س-ش-ص-ض-ط-ظ-ع-غ-ف-ق-ك-ل-م-ن-ه-و-ي А-Б-В-Г-Д-Е-Ё-Ж-З-И-Й-К-Л-М-Н-О-П-Р-С-Т-У-Ф-Х-Ц-Ч-Ш-Щ-Ъ-Ы-Ь-Э-Ю-Я а-б-в-г-д-е-ё-ж-з-и-й-к-л-м-н-о-п-р-с-т-у-ф-х-ц-ч-ш-щ-ъ-ы-ь-э-ю-я ä-ö-ü-ß-Ä-Ö-Ü ___ Linux-il mailing list Linux-il@cs.huji.ac.il http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il

Anyway now hastle and the wireless is working again. the keyboard is a far way off compared to a t61 that we also have and a friends macbook air (amaizing keyboard, if it only wasn't so expensive and had more than one touchpad button) On the other hand a friend of mine wanted to buy a dell from them, they said that they have it in stock and he can come see it, and when he came they said that they don't have it in stock and he needs to order it in (without seeing it first), so he went off to buy it somewhere else ___ Linux-il mailing list Linux-il@cs.huji.ac.il http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il

The VoIP speech (SIP protocol) has a lot of skips and is unacceptable. SIP packets are about 100 bytes. They are even smaller with header compression, but CISCO has a patent on that, so I can't say for certain anyone else uses it. I have a US VoIP provider and they are extremely well connected to Netvision. Average ping times are slightly over 160ms. I used to have Vonage, and from Wednesday afternoon until early Sunday morning, they were unuseable. My current provider is good 24/6.5 (I'm shomer shabbat), but unlike my vonage connection, it was perfectly usable 3pm Friday, 8pm Saturday. I have a 5m/256k cable modem from hot, and a TP-Link router without QOS. Note there are other VoIP providers that do similar things, 012 provides you with a BEZEQ aDSL line and a box, but won't let you use it for Internet, Orange makes you get the line, but provides the ISP service and box. I have heard BBL does too, but have no desire to find out. Actually the cheap deals for outgoing calls currently are the HOT 077 service with 2,000 minutes a month to BEZEQ and 077 lines. It is not VoIP and can be used for a fax, btw. Orange's 139 NIS for combined ISP service and 600 minutes is a good deal if you use it to call cell phones, as HOT is 45ag a minute. Neither is very good if you call mostly outside of Israel. SKYPE has outgoing only service, but it is SKYPE, which is something some people love and others hate (I'm on the hate side) for $6 a month ($13 for a lot of countries). My wife is in Amsterdam for 4 days, and I seriously thought about spending the $6 for one month of an incoming Dutch number via SKYPE, but she had no landline access.

Re: xfone 018 phone service and Linux
I don't know the technical details or 018. I do know that 012 provides you with a sip adapter that is plugged between the bezeq/hot modem and your PC/ordinary phone. It could be that that adapter reserve some BW for the sip packets. In any case, my experience is that both 750K ADSl/cables is sufficient for a good quality phone service, with a lightly usage for internet and phone. The sip adapter I initially had was made in the US. I assume they use a US proven technology. My current sip adapter is made by AudioCodes. 012 claims that the sip adapter they provide should work with any ISP. I had two ISPs, and in my case their claim is justified. There is also a rumor that bezeq's new generation network uses sip over copper for the phone services. --- On Sat, 3/7/09, Arie Skliarouk sklia...@gmail.com wrote: From: Arie Skliarouk sklia...@gmail.com Subject: Re: xfone 018 phone service and Linux To: linux-il linux-il@cs.huji.ac.il Date: Saturday, March 7, 2009, 11:21 PM Hi, On Thu, Mar 5, 2009 at 13:54, Gilad Ben-Yossef gi...@codefidence.comwrote: Arie Skliarouk wrote: How do they solve the latency problems inherent to any internet connection?
