Do you want to increase your Internet Speed?

Check out Ubuntu:

http://www.ubuntu.com/

It's free and comes with access to thousands of free programs. Not only
that, your Internet connection will be 10 to 20% faster!

Alias

You might increase your Internet speed about 0.0000000000004 percent, but
your productivity will go down by 99.99999 percent.

Your choice

Your Internat is only as fast as the site server you are connecting to and
how heavy the traffic is.

I think selling used cars would be a step up for Alias. He isn't that
smart.

You may think that, but.....

(And if you could get Ubuntu working on your PC, you could see for
yourself.)

I go to my ISP's internal speedtest site (not going thru the internet),
and get consistant d/l speed of 3.6 mbps in Windows. Same test site using
Ubuntu, and I get 4.5 mbps.

It has nothing to do with anything other than Windows being slower. I can
boot in Windows, do the speedtest, reboot into Ubuntu, do the speedtest,
reboot again into Windows, etc.....and each time I get the same results.

Therefore, it is obvious that the TCP/IP stack itself is slower in
Windows, so even normal web d/l's can be faster as well.

2 more to look at. I've never installed either of them and therfore, have
no opinion.

You can find a lot of Linux apps @ linuxappfinder.com

(Regardless of the usefulness of any of the s/w available, it is a real
website, categorized, with descriptions of all the packages, review,
links to their respective homepage, etc.... and not just a bunch of
seemingly cryptic package names with very short non-descriptions, as
you'd see in the package manager.)

I was amazed when I created an Ubuntu boot DVD, booted my laptop on
with it and just had to click on the wireless icon, enter my wirless
encryption key and I was online using the Linux version of Firefox.
However, I am not brave enough to use the installation option in case
its hoses my system.

I don't disagree, but I would say it is *sometimes* a pain in the ass.
