I thought, perhaps in error that Linux was supposed to be a serious contender to the Windows monopoly. Installing it is easy sure enough, providing you don't need dial up access to the internet, the right display drivers or Ethernet. Hmmmmm.
I dumped the Ubuntu in favour of the OpenSUSE 11.3 64 bit today. It figured out I had a modem during install and installed wvdial and qinternet. Modem was listed in network devices and I was on the net within two minutes of the install finishing. Trivial. Even easier than windows because I didn't have to install modem drivers. Sweet !
