Can anyone recommend a reliable one for use with Linux (Debian Wheezy FWIW), that's available to buy in Israel? I currently have a TP-Link TL-WN422G which has an Atheros chipset. In 2.6.38 it was just bearable, 2.6.39 it's back to being unreliable, I can't take it any more. It just randomly seem

Re: Cell phones and Hebrew support

2011-09-15 Thread Antony Gelberg
Hi Stan, I got Hebrew support on my Android phone (HTC Desire HD / Android 2.2) by installing the third party firmware CyanogenMod which has many other benefits over stock. However, this technically voids the warranty. When I owned Nokias in the past, I used "special" software to change the prod

Somewhat OT: MythTV / DVB in Israel

Hi all, I'm about to cancel my incredibly expensive HOT Triple and get Internet-only instead. I'm not that bothered about TV but I do have a MythTV box lying around from the old country, and I'd be happy to see if I could get it working here.  It would just need a PCI tuner card or two.  As I see

I'm not such a GUI user, but for rarely performed tasks like these, it makes sense. For CDs, I use asunder which is a GUI tool, to rip to flac. I then use Picard to get the tags correct (MusicBrainz is a wonderful service). For ripping DVDs, I use dvd::rip with great success. Hope this helps.
