Hi Dj

I have it set up on Ubuntu Dapper. I was very limited in my options for 
broadband so I went with this, and am reasonably
happy with it. I miss my IBB 4mb line though.

For general browsing and and emails it's great. For the flash and 
videos, like google video it can be slow.
If you have to upload anything, forget about it as it is to slow.
