Thanks for the link, but I think I can't solve my problem like that as
this is a NAS drive, not another machine's share.
So am still a bit dumbfounded.
Thanks again

They seem to have their own app on top of Linux, and as such they can
license it as they see fit.

Hi all
Any product like Alex aims at those who don't use, or won't use,
computers. However, the problems of bringing these peple into main
stream computer use are far more complex. Have a look at

Hi there,
You could use an online site like www.kickyoutube.com which converts the

Be careful as some of the adverts may not be suitable for viewing at work

The BBC seem to have the costs all wrong. The web site today says that
it costs £10 per month for the basic service, or £25 per month with
broadband thrown in. It is cheaper if you buy it yearly. This sounds
much more reasonable.
I expect the ALEX people are really unhappy about this free publicity

Hi guys,
Thanks for the replies. I have tried quite a lot before to mount with
cifs to no avail, but I will try again, perhaps to show you where things
go wrong...

As Dan says its possible with cifs. have a look at my post here when I was
using Xubuntu, it might help

Jon,
The drive is probably using Windows Networking ie samba/cifs compliant.
Have you tried mounting it with cifs ie -
"sudo mount -t cifs //192.168.0.3/ /media/fnd/ -o
username=username,password=password,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777"
It might be easier than using curlftpfs

Hi,
I have a (dodgey) Freecom Network Drive which seems to mount fine in XP
using 'Map network drive' just entering the IP-addy/SHARE.
Just cannot get this to mount in Ubuntu (well Xubuntu) so have been
trying to mount it using curlftpfs, as I can access it via ftp no
problem.

Its a good idea, but I dont think someone would be able to meet this cost on
the average pension. I dont think its a good way to advertise Linux to the
masses myself it might give the illusion that its more expensive to have a
linux PC.
Good point about the data side of this, id rather keep my own
Exactly my point and before you even get there, you pay £300 + for the
laptop. A little bit like paying the SIM-free price for a phone and still
buying into the full cost of the contract with the network. I applaud their
effort but if they're going to copy the mobile networks' business model,
then

No, im not sure they do.
It's ~£40 a month for the service, which I think is ridiculous.
Especially as broadband is £15 a month.
Hmm... we shall see how this goes..

It isn't MSO. Nor is it OpenOffice.org.

Very interesting indeed. It's a shame that the article looks a bit
clobbered together in 5
My concern would be where I stood should the folks doing Alex go out
of business... as everything seems to be stored online, what happens
then???

I think it's a nice idea but given that the business is obviously based
around the support services, it strikes me they're charging too much for the
initial payment for the laptop.
Just a thought.
