surf internet on Linux using singnet broadband?

[evo 0]

thinking of buying this low end PC, so that my brother and I can have 1 PC each

costs just S$439 w/o monitor

 

only 1 concern, linux drivers for the prolink hurricane usb broadband modem. manufacturer's website, http://www.fida.com/download-dc.htm, brings me to below

 

http://sourceforge.net/projects/zyxel630-11

 

looks promising...

 

wonder if linux drivers are hard to install, i.e. do I need to know how to type various commands, like in DOS

 

actually was researching on this

but price is too close to a new PC above, plus my current PC is not that new, P3 500Mhz

 

another similar system, but not seen in singapore

I can't access the computertimes website so I assume the system comes with the cheaper linux and not Windows XP.

 

I'm not sure if you have tried Linux before but it is not that easy as compared to Windows. If the drivers do not work in linux, you can always revert back to Windows.

 

U have the installation disc for Windows right?

evo, why not go down to Funan and see the NTUC shop there, they have the Linux desktop there. Maybe you can use it? But if you want to play PC games, forget it. Linux is not so bad nowadays except if you have hardware which is very new.
