This is in regards to the install fest that will be happening Saturday at the Worcester Computer Coop. These machines will be given to people with little computer experience / money. All they need for an Internet service is a very simple dial up. Has anyone tried Net zero for Lindows(linspire) and got it running under Linux? If not can someone recommend a good ISP. The cheaper the better. Thanks Patrick

I'm using Stowe Telecom (http://www.stowetel.com/) for $5/mo. Rock solid, no busy signals, no hangups, lots of POPs, unlimited access. They only offer tech support via email (to keep support costs down), and in my experience, ISP tech support has never been worth the cost, anyway. They do pretty well, as I had a support issue with them when I started up, and they solved it via email within a week. Ever since then, there's been no problems. -Chuck

express56 works with linux. it cost is ten dollars per month and there is a setup fee
I'm looking for a basic, cheap, laptop PC with wireless capability, running Linux - to use for Web browsing or email at the library or Starbucks. I use Fedora Core 2 and Red Hat 8 on my desktops - will these work with a wireless-enabled PC? Thanks. Ira Krakow ikrakow_1999@yahoo.com
