Easy share HSDPA internet connection

During these days I passed in my country house, I had some troubles with internet connection: in that area, there is no ADSL connection, so the only way to connect to the internet is using a HSDPA device. After some days, friends come to my house to pass some days with me. One of them carried with him his computer, so I setup a shared internet connection to let him connect to the internet. I connected both computers to an ethernet switch...

Then I connected my computer to the internet with the USB HSDPA device, I opened internet connection tool selecting “manage connections”

Then I created a new shared internet connection under “cable connections” tab

Then to enable the shared connection, I selected the just created connection.

 So this is a very smart way to share internet connection in places where you don't have ADSL connection :-)))

Holidays time!

Now it is holidays time, so I moved away from Rome, and I went to an Italy region where my family has its origins. I have carried with me all things for my university studies but above all a disc of Fedora. I hope to find here a lot of new opportunities to introduce people to this wonderful operating system. I am pretty sure that I will do it :-)

Games to introduce a boy to Fedora

Some days ago, I introduced my girlfriend's cousin to Fedora. He is a 13 years old boy, who goes to school and like to play video games. He really likes horror games so I let him know that he can run his favourites games also under Linux (those games series are available for all main operating systems) So I installed Fedora on his laptop and actually he is heavily using it instead of the previous proprietary operating system. I am happy I introduced a young boy to Fedora. Next step will be to inform him about Free Software topics. On September he will start a kind of high schools that is specialised in information technology, so I thought this first step in Free Software is pretty important for him.

Introducing a teacher to Free Software

Yesterday I installed Fedora on two machines owned by a person who teaches English language in schools. She almost didn't know anything about Free Software, since I think that teachers are very important people which to teach free software topics, I spent some hours with her, giving her some useful infos about it. I also introduced her to a important website about free software usage in schools and I told her the hazards of teaching propertary software to children. This website is: http://www.dossierscuola.it/


I also introduced her to LaTex, since I seriously think every teacher should known it perfectly. I noticed she really enjoyed it, and I gave her some guidelines to start working on it.

Her machines which I installed Fedora on, are:

• Acer laptop with Core 2 Duo CPU and 4 Gb RAM memory. I installed KDE spin since the RAM amount was very good.
• HP laptop with Pentium M 1.8 Ghz CPU, and 1 Gb RAM memory. I installed LXDE spin since the RAM amount was not so high.
