I'll second (or forth) for mint debian edition. I've had some quirks, usual crap with i386 vs amd64 architecture, libssl0.98, but most have been pretty easy to figure out with a google search. Far less frustrating than with ubuntu, but a bit of a new learning curve none the less with debian.

The indexing service is adjustable - you can 'nice' it or set it to not run when the desktop is in use. You might reconsider disabling it, especially if you use Gnome3, as search is a primary access paradigm. Just hit the window key and start typing and a list of files is shown like in dynamic

Phone apps for setting up personal WiFi hotspots with lots of DHCP addresses?

2014-09-23 Thread David Schwartz
Simple question: I'm looking to see if anybody knows of any mobile apps that run in either iOS or Android that support a mobile hotspot (or personal hotspot) and allow more than 5 DHCP connections? Preferably up to 255, although 50 is about as many as I'd need. What I'm looking for is the

Thanks but this has to be accessible to anybody. No jailbreaks. AFAIK this is NOT a hardware limitation. It’s just that the folks who provide hotspot apps are all in cahoots with the phone companies who don’t want people setting up one phone that everybody at Starbucks can use for free.
