Hi!
I sent a Dell Laptop to me parents in India with UBUNTU 6.06. I have mailed
in this group about it quite a few times. Earlier he had some troubles with
its internal modem which nobody knew about it in his small town of
Lansdowne, UP. Somebody offered to help us in this group from Delhi, and my
Dad was able to get it fixed with the help in Delhi after three months of
getting the laptop.
Later on, My dad moved to Allahabad and got broadband. Again, same problem.
Nobody had ever heard about UBUNTU, nobody knew how to set up broadband for
him. One of my friend was able to upgrade his computer to UBUNTU 7.10, and
then his existing internal modem configuration also got lost. Now, neither
his internal modem nor broadband is working.
I am not sure if it was really worth sending him a UBUNTU laptop. This whole
thing has been extremely annoying.
