I even know some people who've got dial up and are spending hundreds or Rupees per month, although they could get an Airtel unlimited usage plan for much less than they are currently spending on their decade old dial up.

    I'm currently on an Airtel 256 kbps unlimited usage plan, and although its not as fast as most net connections in other countries, I'm happy enough with it for now.

    I noticed that when I started using Mandrake (now known as Mandriva) a few years ago, but the kind of people we're talking about here wouldn't be looking at the exact figures that some software shows them as "download speed".

    Yeah, that was quite annoying... But lets not turn this into a Windows discussion or bashing thread.

    Ubuntu not working on my PC, dont know y...
    It just doesnt boot!!!!!
    It started with 7.10 since i installed my Lan card Hardware..
    I thought it wil be cleared atleast with the new versiion.. but...

    Rt nw, m using a P4, 1.5 Gz with 256 Mb RAM 30Gb HDD... I know its quite an old conf, but lemme tell u, i was using 7.10 on a P3-450Mz with 256Mb n 20Gb!!! So there shouldnt be any problem with the current conf!!!! Rt??
    Older versions like 6.06 work Fine, pretty fine, STILL!!

    No problem. Use whatever works for you.

    I started using Ubuntu because it was the only distro at that time (November 2005) which recognized my ethernet card. I've stuck with it since.

    There was a time in between when no distro would recognize my ethernet card (mid-way 2007) and other parts of my hardware suddenly stopped working in all distros (old as well as new versions) while everything worked fine in Windows for a few months, but that might have some hardware problem. It all magically started working fine again on a random day, and I've been back on Ubuntu since then.
