Setting up a linux dialup connection

01/23/2008  III
Relevance: 6.35
My dirty walk-through to setting up an external modem in Linux using wvdial to dial into an ISP connection. I had some trouble finding a single place with a good write-up for doing such a task when I was setting up a Linux box for someone that had previously been using Windows and a little OS X. Finding dialing info, modem configuration, or slight troubleshooting, alone wasn't too difficult, but finding them in one place in a concise manner was. So I have attempted to compile what I have found, my tweaks and adjustments, and other hints that enabled me to setup a Linux box to use a dial up connection via external modem.

Dream Linux 3.5 RC1 ScreenShots

10/25/2008  IIIII
Relevance: 5.82
As for my opinion on DreamLinux 3.1... I thought it was very nice on they eyes, Based off of Debian, its own Control Panel, and I must say I do love the Icons.. Also my opinion is so that"Whatever Linux Distro I use for my desktop...... I should NOT have to spend HOURS tailor fitting it to my needs." As I am beyond that stage. That is not to say that you are beyond that stage, you might still be in love with finding packages and doing the"configure/make/make install" and finding all of its dependencies...

Open source technology is hungry for new college grads

08/09/2008  II
Relevance: 4.92
Many college graduates are finding it difficult to enter the information technology world with little or no work experience. There is no such thing as an entry-level position anymore, and more and more graduates are finding themselves in a catch-22 situation because of this. Searching the numerous jobseeker Web sites, such as dice.com, will return thousands of positions available in the IT field. But when you look closely, most positions, such as an entry-level software engineer, have a minimum requirement of at least one year's work experience in a related field. The search field criterion doesn't even offer a selection for graduates with less than one year's experience.

Relevance: 4.39
I'll admit it; the concept of finding a road that meets in the middle with regards to RPM and DEB packages has crossed my mind before. And yet in the end, I decided to let it go. After all, I’m not all that convinced that it will ever happen anyway.

Relevance: 4.23
Sun first announced OpenSolaris in 2005 but they keep finding ways to announce 'first releases'. Yesterday was one such release. When will Sun finally give up on this fiasco and realize that Linux has won?
