I understand this problem of support. And am quite curious to know what the result will be, because, as has been discussed, this is lacunae of Linux on desktops and a very good opportunity as well. Second ,what kind of support would the Dr be requiring. If its a data card and the details are posted online the solution could be kept ready for whoever needs to do the job. From what i know most of the recent and some of the older data cards are all easily supported. And in some versions of Ubuntu - depending on how its tweaked the data cards work by just adding them in the network manager applet (something that not even wincedows has been able to achieve). Third is the Dr is looking for more support , than just the data card. If so there may be more takers. I know of some people who are not on the Ubuntu list but who would be willing. ** As a caveat i would like to say that for new users without the friendly neighborhood pirate to solve all problems it does become difficult for a lone user to start off and maintain Linux and as James says to keep the enthu up. New users need two things - one initial big introduction to Linux (and a good installation with all the bells and whistles) and then a steady dose of booster shots. Those who are not upto maintaining and installing need booster + doses. I would have said that the Dr should attend a Ubuntu LUGH meet but for most part i think its really the hard core linux types who land up and sometimes this can be very very intimidating. LUG's would be a great place to get help and make friends who can connect the Dr to the right people for serious long term support. ram -- ubuntu-in mailing list ubuntu-in@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-in
