Charter Telephone reviews, boylston?
by John Stoffel
Hi,
Anyone on here using Charter Telephone VOIP service? I've currently
got Verizon, but the wife hates it because our phone lines get flaky
all the time, esp when it rains.
So I'm thinking to save money and combine all my stuff onto Charter.
I've already got High Speed internet and regular old cable. Not wild
about Digital Cable since I'm happy with Tivo and I don't want yet
another set top box to have to deal with...
So, any horror stories about Charter Phone VOIP quality and service?
Thanks,
John

I need a penetration tester (individual or firm) to run some tests against my network.
Anyone have any recommendations they care to share?

GPS
by Mike Leo
I have a great little Lenovo netbook and I haven't found a good use for the expresscard 34 slot
I've been researching GPS devices but can't find an ExpressCard 34 style GPS device.
I could get a normal GPS device with a screen and junk, but that would defeat the purpose of my search.
Does anyone have experience with using a laptop with a GPS device?
FYI: I already have maxed out the ram and have a 150gig hard drive, plus a webcam and bluetooth...if anyone can think of a better use of the Expresscard, I'd like to hear that, too!

Re: [Wlug] Looking at new and inexpensive laptop for Linux use.

Hello Joel/Every1,
Have a look see at these 4 HCL sites of Linux compatible hardware:
http://www.linux-drivers.org/
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport/
http://www.linux-drivers.org/
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hardware_compatibility_list - this gives you
links to the other distros...
They will have mucho details! Besides, half the joy I find in installing is
having to hack something to work and helping the software improve for the
next person. =)
Enjoy the weekend,
Joseph

Hi all,
I am considering replacing my old broken screen laptop (Pent 350 &
256MB) with a replacement.
Does anyone recommendations on $400 to $600 laptops for Linux with a
regular 15" or so screen and at least 2-4GB RAM. I am going with a
low-spec (and low cost) as I have used the laptop an hour or two a
week in the past as for daily use my eyes prefer my desktop's 24"
widescreen LCD.
In this price range I am mostly finding Netbooks and the occasional
low end Acer (newegg). I could handle the speed of a netbook but my
older and poor eyes would protest (and the additional RAM cost makes
them spendy-ish for what you get).
Any recommendations for a new, regular 15" or so standard notebook on
the cheap for Linux use (prob. Ubuntu or KUbuntu)? I am thinking my
concerns here and hardware compatibility and cost.
Thank you,
Joel
