ZDNet Editor in Chief Larry Dignan recently picked up a Dell Inspiron Mini 9 Ubuntu Netbook and pinged me for tech support questions regarding his new toyâ€' he couldn’t get it functioning on his home wireless network.

He had to call up Dell Tech support, which eventually guided him through the wireless setup and helped him debug a few wireless security issues.
