First Post Using Linux Mint Gloria 7

Yes, the title would have known if this is the first post I use Linux Mint Gloria 7. After my computer often crashes due to using Windows XP Professional ultimately I prefer Linux disto that is using Linux Mint. Can not get online may be almost more than 2 weeks, which means that during those 2 weeks my computer error, then I try to re-install XP again and install error crashes the second time that error again and the same problem. Then, I install Windows Vista, and almost all of my Vista package cobain from Home Basic, Home Premium, Business, Starter and forth in a Windows Vista installer DVD.

Most do not like with Windows Vista is the number of drivers who do not support, such as the Sierra 881U is where I need to browse for Sierra Wireless drivers that are compatible with Vista. Using the new Aero Glass this week once again my computer crashes and error. Each open large files always hangs. It was already bored with either Windows XP or Windows Vista.

After refill IM2 Broom Unlimited USD. 100,000, using Voucher Indosat then the ISO file I downloaded the latest Linux Mint is version 7 with the code for http://www.linuxmint.com/ Gloria from 700 MB which took more than 4 hours. After patiently waiting for the download is finally completed and then the ISO Linux Mint is my burning using Nero 9.

Without thinking, I Direct BIOS setting "boot from CD" and then restart the computer and insert the CD ISO file burn results. Follow the installation instructions Linux Linux Mint. Finally Linux Mint installation process is complete after approximately mengunggu of 20 minutes. After the installation process is complete Linux Mint asks us to restart. All went well and OK, but there is a problem when I want to connect Internet using a Sierra 881U modem INDOSATM2 card (IM2) Broom. Barriers every time I try to log in after a few seconds immediately disconnect (DC). Indeed in this Ubuntu derivative distributions already available menu connection management with Mobile Phone, Wireless, VPN, and the Linux Mint 7 also has added features connection settings (GPRS, 3G, HSDPA) automatically, so we only need to choose which network you are taking. There AXIS, Telkomsel, Celcom (XL, ProXL), Indosat, Indosat (Matrix), and so forth depending on their respective countries. However, still there are problems when I try to use it with Sierra 881U modem.

The solution, I had to manually install wvdial on Linux Mint because it does not provide 7 wvdial package. Then I download and install wvdial together with the necessary dependencies. Done, it's time to set HSDPA connection setting that is by editing IM2 wvdial.conf with the command "sudo gedit / etc / wvdial.conf" after it made the setting for INDOSATM2 providers. And, finally now I have get online via the Linux Mint Gloria 7 marked the first posting this via Linux. There are more experienced colleagues with Linux? (with a look-look Wulida Mas and Mas Agus)
