okonja: Woah, thats nice to know. I hope they upgrade quickly and give S/Lere fantastic service. I had a flickering one bar and it was blazing fast. Looking forward to when I can boast of 3 bars on my modem. Speedtest showed 13Mb/sec as at the last time checked. Swift has not crossed 7Mb/s since i started using it. |

I have been a Swift since 2012 and I haven't seen any reason to change to any other network up until now when Ntel popped up. Swift I will say has been relatively consistent and met my needs but i just hate how am restricted data wise. This applies to all networks anyways. For me the catch is speed and the package. Since Ntel has promised an uncapped data for N10k/month with their current speed then i will likely settle for that once their network coverage improves in S/Lere. If there service is not onsistent, I will stay with Swift. To get out of owning too many ISP devices I went ahead to get a generic 4G LTE router, TP-link MR6400 so that I wont buy any network router again as far as 4G LTE is concerned. Just throw in my 4G SIM, configure APN, subscribe and then viola am online. This is my internet short to medium term strategy for now. Long term will FTTH, fibre to the home from hopefully ipNX (or whoever comes up) when their cable comes close to my abode or when i move close to them (whichever comes first) ![]() 1 Like |

Hi So this me thinking there must be something Linux/Open source can offer to our dear country Nigeria if only a collective & patriotic few can come together to work on it. Yes, i mean you reading right now! Because if you saw this topic and opened it then you are interested...am not wrong right? Of cos am right! So here is how am thinking about it (pls note am very open to suggestions as this is my first time doing anything like this, tired of my comfort zone ![]() - First we start catching up on IRC channels (IRC means Internet Relay Chat, its Yahoo Msger-like. Buzz me if want to now more) - Linux/open source and non-Linux s are welcome. - We can cover software and hardware!! - As we grow bigger we can then schedule face to face meetings for those in one state (it depends) - Then we storm Naija with our amazing projects. Who knows NITDA might be interested with working with us. How about that for a start (or better put dream)? So lets keep talking and see how this goes. Waiting for your response...

purplekayc: From what I can tell you are only trying to that app from Sourceforge. In my opinion, I will not recommend your approach on using wget to install apps for now. Use the apt command as suggested by Maleeq and you should be fine. Share your screenshot if you still encounter problems. |

femarse: For your laptop I will recommend you look at lightweight distros. Apart from Xubuntu, Linux Lite and Puppy Linux are other suggestions. Have fun in the process. |

Linux is too big to restrict it to Fedora and Ubuntu...look for more and settle for the distro that really suits your needs. Check this site out; http://distrowatch.com/dwres.php?resource=popularity for all distros.

bigrovar: Nice summary, I hope KDE picks up really quickly. I see it as the real winner in the UI convergence paradigm as far as community-driven Linux goes. I am a KDE fan and Kubuntu does it for me. I might venture into Arch or Debian one of these days. Currently running KDE Neon on VirtualBox, who knows it might just be the next daily driver for me. 2 Likes 1 Share |
