Anybody ever tried this? I need a laptop for my Cornwall/Devon trip and I have a very old Compaq (ten years old) but I lend it to customers as a loan machine. It is currently running a stripped down version of Ubuntu and can cope with Firefox fairly well despite its 256MB of RAM.
Has anybody had any sucess mobile broadband working on Ubuntu? I have done this for customers running those little Asus machines but never with Ubuntu.
The downside is my little laptop has no battery so it will only be useful in the hotel rooms. I have a Nokia N85 and an LG with a Qwerty keyboard too so I won't be without the net when traveling.
It is essential that I am piped with the internet 24/7 or I go mad. Yes I have been known to read this site while dancing on the dance floor at 2:00m!
