I'm not touting this. Just looks interesting.

Would you buy an OS from this man?

Though I really like his idea of how to deal with California more and more every day...

This is another distribution that touts its “Windows like” feel and functionality. Nothing wrong with that, except that many Linux users I read on line are knee-jerk anti-Microsoft reactionaries.

So this distribution likely aims at new Linux recruits, not the “Redmond is evil” crowd I encounter.

Linux Mint user here (and XP) and liking both.

I’ve got an old working P4 in the basement, and it just begging for something new.

Time to ask the question again:

Does anyone know of a linux distro/flavor that handles broadband aircards? Specifically the ATT/Cingular Sierra 800 series?

I’ve seen several cobbled up Rube Goldberg approaches, but nothing that comes close to reliable yet.

Thanks

I don’t like Windows-clone distros. Give me something that looks and feels like Unix. That’s kind of the point anyway, right?

Xandros has a "windows look alike" feature for years now. Course it's not free either. I've tried about 12 distros and erased them all. I don't want to mount drives and I want to click on an .exe file and have it install while I go pee. I'm sick of trying to un tar something and then figure out where to put the file with what program. If you grew up with it, great, but I started with Dos 3.1 and windows just makes sense to me and Linux is greek. If something messes up, I want to be able to fix it myself and know where the file is supposed to be and why. I have a box with Kubuntu 10.10 right now, but after about an hour of surfing, I get bored and go back to windows. If I download a file, there goes another hour of frustration trying to get it to install somewhere. If I can't just click on it and it knows what to do, I don't want it.

Believe me, I WANT to tell Bill to go to hell, but I just can't seem to cut the cord.
