Hi - I'm a very satisfied Ubuntu user. I've installed Ubuntu Dapper on all of the computers I own, including an old computer with no ethernet card (but it has an ISA modem that works just fine with Linux). I then noticed that the base system of Dapper (and Edgy) did not include gnome-PPP, I either needed to download it or transfer it from another machine that had high speed access. However, for someone with no high speed Internet access, figuring out how to use a modem connection under Linux without gnome-PPP could be a difficult task. I'd like to suggest that you consider adding gnome-PPP to the base system of Ubuntu Feisty and future Ubuntu releases. In many rural areas of the United States, the only inexpensive Internet access option is dialup. I think that Ubuntu could become more popular in the rural United States if the system install included gnome-PPP if no ethernet card was detected, but a Linux-friendly modem was detected.
