Re: Installing an external modem in Ubuntu 9.1 I hope you find your solution in the future, I guess perhaps what some view as empowerment others view as a hinderance.
Please also bear in mind you tried one distribution, Ubuntu, not the plethora of others which may fit your needs.
I will say if you're uncomfortable in the command-line or prefer to never use it even GNU/Linux isn't really for you or will cause frustration in the future. This isn't meant as an insult at all. In a sense, it's kind of odd to see something I value as important be viewed as a constraint. In Win32 products nothing irks me more than not being able to via script or CLI control a GUI function. WMI, VBScript, and Batch tend to be severely limiting. The hodge-podge of executable shims with a lack of consistency in command-line syntax is quite frustrating as well.
The good news is there's a wide gamut of OSes available to fit your need. Good luck and thanks for posting the update. |
