As far as internet sharing goes, I used my touch pro`s internet sharing to install updates to be able to use wifi on my computer. I never really tried syncing with Ubuntu so I can`t comment on that. I might get arround to Installing this 9.04 disk I made tonight, then I`ll post again.

No. No. No. Yes, you can probably get ActiveSync to work, through WINE... I wouldn't know where to look for the specifics, though. Yes, you can probably also sync your calendar, still using MS Office, though... Again - WINE Yes, internet sharing will probably work, if you can find a driver. Someone out there has to have written one by now, again, I wouldn't know where to look. Quote:

Re: ubuntu linux, what to expect
A niffty tool called SynCE is what your looking for :) it has the rndis driver for the internet sharing and allows syncing of WM, well at lease it did years ago with an iPaq, There is also a program to flash roms but it tends to keep you in the bootloader, which can be fix with the set command,
Website for SynCE is http://www.synce.org/moin/ How-to for rndis(internet) is http://ohioloco.ubuntuforums.org/sho...7&postcount=54 Flash from linux with http://code.google.com/p/htc-flasher/ Code:

Re: ubuntu linux, what to expect
Just use GoogleSync for Calendar/Contacts
Use imap/pop for e-mail Use storage card method to flash your roms. If internet sharing doesn't work out of the box use this: FOR UBUNTU RNDIS Internet Hosting apt-get install subversion svn co http://synce.svn.sourceforge.net/svn...usb-rndis-lite cd usb-rndis-lite/ make sudo ./clean.sh sudo make install and then connect internetsharing and you're ready to go Done deal pal. |
Re: ubuntu linux, what to expect
These are exactly the type of answers one would expect from a Windows Mobile forum, excepting zeurx & elgreek84, of course. Every OS has its place and reasons to be used. For me, Ubuntu works quite well as my primary OS, but I do dual-boot with Vista for some games. I also use XP in a virtual machine for testing Windows apps. Rather than debate the legitimacy of each, let me just answer your questions from my limited experience.

You can run Linux from a LiveCD (I obviously recommend Ubuntu) and test drive everything without affecting your computer at all. The ultimate try before you buy. If everything works well, you can start the install right from the desktop. If you have 10+GB of free hard drive space, dual-boot with your Windows install. Most Linux distros make this so easy that one of my 3 yr olds could do it. If you are a heavy user, it may take some time to familiarize yourself with Linux. Dual-booting allows you time to transition. Good luck and enjoy freedom and choice. |
