Re: Tether using Linux?

Yeah its insane.

Dude I'm downloading a 151MB MP3 from a friend right now at a SUSTAINED 100KB/sec.

Keep in mind that the towers out here are only on a 1.5Mbps pipe right now... We're kinda jipped here.

Also, that speed test was on a Dallas server... which, while its near my HA... I'm in Denver, CO.

Its crazy... because everything that was broken on my laptop before works out of the box on this. Anyone that owns an X205 can tell you how incompatible they are with like everything... but Ubuntu grabbed my wireless and my bluetooth out of the box, sound works, my HDMI out works (now that I've enabled the nVidia drivers)... 8.04 is by far the best distro I've ever used. And oh my lord is it fast!
