Yes I use Reliance Netconnect Huawei EC1262
It works out of the box with wvdial.
But it is Broadband+ service. I need to check it out with a 3G connection.
I am going to check a friend's Tata Photon this afternoon.

This is a big problem with ADSL connections. But 3G is much better. I have
seen upload speeds of 1.2 Mbps against download speed of 3 Mbps in an
Airtel 3G connection. My home ADSL 2 Mbps (BSNL) connection which gives
0.35 Mbps upload and 1.2 Mbps download speeds.

Can you not install one of the 3G data USB data cards?  I believe most
of them work out of the box with wvdial (i.e. no GUI).  What works on
a laptop should also work on a desktop USB port.

I suspect most 3G data providers have a much lower "upload" speeds
since the services are consumer oriented i.e. upstream packets are
mostly http url strings.   I do not have a 3G USB dongle so no
personal experience with upload speeds.

@ members of the ILUG-Chennai listcan you share your speed test
results from (traffic going over USB data cards)

This is a really good option.
But for the current project, I need to bundle all the hardware into a
mini-itx cabinet. This might be a hassle if I use a 3G router. But I will

[Ilugc] 3G out of the box

2012-09-25 Thread Arun Venkataswamy 
Hi,

For a remote data acquisition project, I need a Linux box connected to the
internet through 3G. I have gone through list archives, but the threads are
over a year old and want some current information. Is there any 3G service
provider with:

   - A modem which simply works out of the box. I will be
   installing Debian base with no X and hence cannot use any GUI based
   configuration tool which they might provide.
   - Good upload speeds (at least 800 kbps)

[Ilugc] One Application One Day (OAOD)

2012-09-25 Thread Dhastha 
Hi Friends,

After long time back again I started One Day One Application (OAOD)
service. Sorry for the break.


Application: GLX-Dock (Cairo-Dock with OpenGL)

What it is:

Cairo-Dock is a pretty, light and convenient interface to your
desktop, able to replace advantageously your system panel! It features
multi-docks, taskbar, launchers and a lot of useful applets. Applets
can be detached from the dock to act as desktop widgets. Numerous
ready-to-use themes are downloadable in 1 click, and can be easily
customized at your convenience. It can use hardware acceleration to be
very fast and low on CPU.

Screenshots:

To know more about it:

To install in Ubuntu:

sudo apt-get install cairo-dock cairo-dock-plug-ins

[Ilugc] What is Common between Mumbai Dabbawalas and Apache Hadoop?

2012-09-25 Thread Shrinivasan T 
Source: 
http://cloudstory.in/2012/07/what-is-common-between-mumbai-dabbawalas-and-apache-hadoop/


Let me start by setting the context – who is a Mumbai Dabbawala?
“Dabba” literally means a box and a Dabbawala is a person who carries
the box. Everyday, thousands of Mumbaikars (a slang that refers to the
residents of Mumbai, the financial capital of India) rely on the
Dabbawalas to deliver their lunch boxes carrying the homemade food to
their work places. Given the increased cost of living in India and the
reluctance to have junk food for everyday meal, many households depend
on the network of Dabbawalas. Mumbai is one of the largest cities in
the world and an average working professional will have to leave home
pretty early in the day to take the local train to commute to the
work. The packed food carried from home will lose its freshness by
noon. Mumbai Dabbawalas pick up the lunch box much later and manage to
deliver it just in time for lunch preserving the warmth of the home
food. The whole process repeats in the evening when they collect the
empty boxes to drop them back at the respective households. So, what
is special about it and how is this related to Apache Hadoop? Keep
reading!
