[03:33] <Takyoji> Ooo nice
[03:33] <Takyoji> Didn't know there was a "Mobile Broadband" section in the Network Connections panel
[03:33] <Takyoji> with a convenient wizard
[03:34] <_diablo> indeed
[03:35] <Takyoji> Now only if there was something convenient for tethering as well
[04:08] <Takyoji> Interesting; Fennec is available in the standard repositories
[04:08] <_diablo> for ubuntu?
[04:08] <Takyoji> yes
[04:09] <Takyoji> in the Ubuntu Software Centre
[04:10] <Takyoji> Is there a graphical method in Ubuntu to start and use an SSH connection for SOCKS tunnelling in GNOME?
[04:11] <_diablo> uhhh, I don't know much about it, sorry
[04:11] <Takyoji> While acting under the GNOME connection settings, so that all other applications would utilize it as well
[04:12] <Takyoji> otherwise when I was referring to the idea of there being a vendor that sells Linux-supported hardware; I meant more like something similar to Newegg; not something for buying premade desktops/laptops
[04:13] <_diablo> ah, I see.
[04:13] <_diablo> you could just cross-reference newegg and linuxhardware
[04:13] <_diablo> or google it :)
[04:26] <Takyoji> and that can be considerably a bit of work
[04:27] <Takyoji> thus if there was a vendor that could be a fusion of the two; then that would be wonderful
[04:27] <Takyoji> Perhaps I should run off right now and try to start such a firm. :P
[04:27] <Takyoji> at age 18
[04:27] <_diablo> do it!
[04:27] <_diablo> it wouldn't cost much for the domain name either...
[04:28] <Takyoji> I believe it was also Mr. Gates that started MS at age 18. :P
[04:28] <_diablo> so you're basically already a billionaire :)
[04:47] <Takyoji> otherwise I meant it more in a retailer aspect
[04:48] <Takyoji> only thing is that I don't have sufficient funds for start-up costs, otherwise I'm not sure if common manufacturers do direct-to-customer shipping
[04:49] <Takyoji> In the pond construction industry, retailers/distributors are completely needed, there's no manufacturers that also work as a distributor of their own products (except one perhaps)
[05:00] <Takyoji> Anyone know of a decent media server solution?
[05:00] <Takyoji> (that could run in background on a standard Ubuntu desktop installation)
[05:02] <tonyyarusso> you mean like mt-daapd?
[05:03] <Takyoji> So would that provide music files on-demand, or would it work on like a streaming playlist concept?
[05:04] <tonyyarusso> on-demand I think
[05:05] <Takyoji> I believe that would be what I'm looking for
[05:05] <Takyoji> additionally I wonder if there's anything for video as well
[05:06] <tonyyarusso> that I don't know
[05:06] <Takyoji> without the need of encoding
[05:06] <Takyoji> for use on an intranet
[05:06] <Takyoji> otherwise I could just do SAMBA or HTTP for something like that
[05:07] <tonyyarusso> You could just do a fi-le share if nothing else.
[05:07] <tonyyarusso> yeah
[05:07] <Takyoji> That's pretty much how I remotely access my content over my LAN; but over SSH
