I heard people have had trouble getting the Wi-Fi card (and some other stuff) to work after changing to a different Linux distro.

Issues specific to Ubuntu Netbook Remix 9.04 and the Acer Aspire ONE are listed here.

No, but better the devil you know Anyway, the GUI looks more like Windows than Linux ever used to, but that's as far as it goes.

Its a Nokia 6500 Slide (3G). I already use it to connect to the internet using my Macbook. To be honest all the phones I have had for the last few years have had modem support over GPRS/3G.

I negotiated quite a good data package on the phone contract so I dont want to go to the extra expence of getting a dongle. It should work if the computer can talk to the phone.

this man reports success.. YMMV...
