Nel forum di Ubuntu, molti vorrebbero provare la Sua distribuzione, anche se relativamente vecchia.
Non frequento il forum di Ubuntu e quindi non lo sapevo: queste richieste, a così tanti anni dalla fine del progetto, mi [...]
Often I have to use my Huawei E176 (which I previously described) inside an area not so well covered by HSDPA signal: in order to increase the bandwith I can use, I bought a 5 dBi GPRS/UMTS antenna.
Does it work well? Answering is measuring. :)
Thanks to the very good list of AT commands written by [...]
L’accordo con Andrea era di non scriverne fino alla pubblicazione, che ora grazie a Stefano scopro essere avvenuta. È quindi uscito il volume “Il software libero in Italia“, al quale ho contribuito con la prima stesura del capitolo sull’Italian Linux Society e knopILS.
This is a reminder for me and a note for you: the Infotec IS 2320 is a multifunctional copier that works fine with Ubuntu Jaunty using the OpenPrinting driver (Infotec IS 2320 – CUPS+Gutenprint) while the default driver didn’t work so well (you have to add the repository, of course).
I recently bought a Huawei E176 from Germany (through eBay) because it has two interesting features that ordinary USB HSDPA modems don’t have:
the support for an external clip antenna;

Sull’interessante intervista di Tommaso a Elena Brescacin, Laura Raffaeli (del Blindsight Project) nei commenti scrive che
rendere accessibile, con poca spesa (perché l’accessibilità non va di pari passo al prezzo alto, anzi!) un sito non è poi così né costoso né difficile
In base alla mia esperienza, non mi sento di dire se sia costoso o meno [...]

I’m (…) living through that time of the year when many people around me are going to celebrate the birth of the son of a god in whom they “believe”
and even atheists and the like are doing their best to be better. :)
I’ve just done something I should have done many years ago: donating 100 [...]
Eee Box comes without cdrom: I’ve tried to install a GNU/Linux distro within a USB stick but the BIOS didn’t recognise it every time (I don’t know why). So the fastest way to install it – without a cdrom or a stick – was using Wubi. Changing boot order was simple too!
