I understand this problem of support. And am quite curious to know what the result will be, because, as has been discussed, this is lacunae of Linux on desktops and a very good opportunity as well. Second ,what kind of support would the Dr be requiring. If its a data card and the details are posted online the solution could be kept ready for whoever needs to do the job. From what i know most of the recent and some of the older data cards are all easily supported. And in some versions of Ubuntu - depending on how its tweaked the data cards work by just adding them in the network manager applet (something that not even wincedows has been able to achieve). Third is the Dr is looking for more support , than just the data card. If so there may be more takers. I know of some people who are not on the Ubuntu list but who would be willing. ** As a caveat i would like to say that for new users without the friendly neighborhood pirate to solve all problems it does become difficult for a lone user to start off and maintain Linux and as James says to keep the enthu up. New users need two things - one initial big introduction to Linux (and a good installation with all the bells and whistles) and then a steady dose of booster shots. Those who are not upto maintaining and installing need booster + doses. I would have said that the Dr should attend a Ubuntu L"UGH" meet but for most part i think its really the hard core linux types who land up and sometimes this can be very very intimidating. LUG's would be a great place to get help and make friends who can connect the Dr to the right people for serious long term support. ram -- ubuntu-in mailing list ubuntu-in@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-in

[...] Hi, I had missed reading the original message (incidentally, it would help to use a suitable Subject line when asking for specific help), but am in the NCR region, as are several other people here. Which data card are we talking about? Which Ubuntu version is in use? If the only requirement is to set this up on a recent version of Ubuntu, I can do this at no charge.

Hey all, I am James from Manali in HP. I am a newbie to Ubuntu, but used rpm based distros in the past, though I could not work/use linux for some time due to my work situation. For last one month I use Ubuntu 10.4 and quite happy with it. Thanks for this support group. I was hunting the archives for a paid support in Delhi to identify and setup a data card (to connect to internet) on an ubuntu installation on a laptop. The only thing I could stumble upon was a chain discussion on the topic without any concrete answers. So I would like to know if there is some one in delhi who can help this person to get a data card setup properly. She is a senior doctor and enthused by Ubuntu while at Manali, but struggling to keep that enthusiasm while in Delhi.
