for all who want to change from windows os to an easy to use linux based os there is an free offer from ex-"lindows", now "linspire" producers. itґs no ad from me but all who simply want to get familiar with linux they get an easy os with linspire. click http://www.linspire.com/btorder , then above click "apply coupon" and enter "lindows" as coupon code, press update, then continue - you see itґs free then. the .iso you can download via bittorrent at http://tracker.linspire.com/torrents/linspire-full-4.5.393.torrent then simply burn from the iso to disk and install it itґs pretty cool and as easy as windows but safe and stable like linux
is there a suport for WIN MODEMS (lucent) i have problem to configurate it in madrake ( i don't want to download it or .... and see that there is not )
i can only say that most plug and play adapters like usb a.s.o are supported. i habe an usb-dsl modem from acer that is not working , allthough the hardware is recognized, it canґt connect because an ethernet card isґnt found (u donґt need one for usb modems ) i canґt say if your modem is working - is it analog ? there is a compatibility list onlin where you can search your hardware and see if it is compatible : http://www.linspire.com/lindows_hwsw_compatibility.php good luck by the way - linspire download is around 550 mb but itґs it worth i think
p.s. if it is this modem : lucent 56k v.90 flex it is belived to be compatible ! look : http://www.linspire.com/lindows_hwsw_compatibility.php?item_id=946
