Hi all,
I'm looking into getting satellite internet, since all the dial-up ISP's are making it harder and harder for me to stay online the amount of time that I do (I'm disabled and being on the computer is all I have to keep myself occupied and from going insane with nothing to do).
I guess xDSL is not an option?
Unfortunately, no. I'm so far out in the country that DSL nor cable are anywhere near here. <snip>
Also, will our opensuse 11.3 pick up this new connection readily? Or will I have to do a bunch of cli stuff and wondering what and how to get connected?
You would set up your Linux box(es) with wireless and DHCP, and that's pretty much it.
A wireless router would mean I'd also have to purchase some kind of wireless card to stick in each of our MOBO's, correct? If true, would going the wired route be easier (other than running the wire itself through the house as needed)? Would all I still needed to do is make sure DHCP is installed?
