A friend is having terrible problems with an e-Machines computer that came with Windows Xp. We can get dial out to work but the IE browser will connect to no sites. I think tis is due to NetZero using a proxy. I am not sure though, as I can ping www.google.com. Furthermore, I can't get the sound to work in Xp.
I would like to install Ubuntu/Kubuntu. The only sticking point is that Ubuntu issues lots of updates and this person uses a modem. Doing massive updates over 56k is not an option. My question: Is there a way to limit updates to only essential ones? Also does anyone know if Kubuntu or Xubuntu issue fewer updates? My other option is to install OpenBSD 4.0 and run TextMaker and PlanMaker in Linux compat mode. The OpenBSD project issues far fewer updates. -- Kind regards, Jonathan _______________________________________________ CWE-LUG mailing list [email protected] http://www.cwelug.org/ http://www.cwelug.org/archives/ http://www.cwelug.org/mailinglist/
