So..........here's the good news. My main computer runs Ubuntu 8.10 perfectly. It has a Belkin wireless dongle.....flawless. Just bought an Acer Aspire One Netbook.......nice little machine. It also works perfectly, gaining access to my wireless router. Acer Aspire One comes with Linpus....and when the warranty runs out I might change to Ubuntu but for the things that I expect from this little device, well it does just fine. Bad News. Well, I'd really like to be able to access files stored on my other computer and ideally use the printer fitted to it. Is this possible........? Phil
