Ubuntu Phase 2 - Networking

So, back to Ubuntu ... now that I got it installed on my PC, the next step is to actually get it connected to the Internet. Now, this is not quite as easy as it sounds because - at KillaineÅ›, we use the, um, public wireless network. So, for this old Omnibook 900, I had to find a wireless card (a friend at work lent me a PCMCIA wireless card) - however, that doesn quite work off the bat.

But ... I also got a crossover Ethernet cable, and connected the Ubuntu PC to my regular PC (with wireless), and I able to share the wireless connection between PCs! So ... that means that my Ubuntu PC is connected to the network - and I updating my blog from my Ubuntu PC!

Now, back to trying to get wireless to work ...
