Re: [Ilugc] wireless datacard linux compatibility

2009-05-27 Thread LinuXpert Academy
Of the current wireless datacard/usb devices supplied by the
any-time-anywhere-internet services available in Chennai which all, if any,
work in linux? Which one would you suggest?

Yesterday Reliance Wireless Broadband+ marketing persons came to my office to 
demonstrate
their wireless datacard where we have linux only machines and no windoze.

I have inserted their Reliance Netconnect datacard in my Fedora-10 PC and just 
replaced their usename, password in my
wvdial configuration and just connected in seconds and test the download speed 
and got average
speed of 28kbps/35kpbs (tested about 10 minutes) and it was good for browsing 
and
smaller downloads.

Their wireless datacards support Highspeed Data transfer of about 3.1 MBps in 
35 major cities
and when I have tested 3 times, I have got only a max. of 35Kbps.

Overall it is well supported by Linux (I have tested this in Fedora-10 and the 
wireless datacard is detected as /dev/ttyUSB0) and speed is also good for any 
mobile user.

S. Baskar
CEO/LinuXpert Systems

Note: The price of Reliance NetConnect wireless Broadband datacard is 
Rs.3,500/- and citywide postpaid plan is Rs.1099/- per month (Data Transfer 
limit: 10GB/month) and nationwide postpaid plan is Rs.1,750/- per month.

1. At what time, you run this testing?
2. If possible, try at 1AM - 3AM.
3. Did they commit any min or avg data rate?

AFAIK, 3.1MBps is the total capacity of the base station. If you are
the only one subscriber in the base station, then you MAY get ~3MBps.  
But normally the base station bandwidth is shared by many subscribers.
So getting 3MBps is only a dream.

Re: [Ilugc] Uninstalling XP from a dual boot system with ubuntu

 Hi
 
 I have installed Ubuntu 7.04 and Windows XP in a P III ( 256mb RAM/40 GB
 HDD) dual booting with GRUB. Now I find XP takes longer to boot. But I have
 no issues with Ubuntu. Now I like to uninstall Windows XP and format that
 partition without disturbing Ubuntu instalation. How should I proceed to
 uninstall Windows XP? I should be able to boot into Ubuntu without doing a
 reinstall.

Try deleting windows partition using fdisk.

Thanks
baskar
