It is giving reasonable speed in WinXp. I am using BSNL NIC Card (CDMA 1x, which offers 144 k bps speed). A simple question irritating me…. ‘why net is slow in Mint? ’ I stated to investigate in google and other technology blogs. Finally I found 2 reasons for this problem.https://harishbhat.com/tech-zone/installing-linux-mint-using-flash-drive/Fri, 10 Apr 2009 17:16:35 +0000https://harishbhat.com/tech-zone/installing-linux-mint-using-flash-drive/The other day My friend had a problem with his Windows OS. Actually he was not able to connect with our office WiFi (because of VIRUS issues). I suggested him to go for Linux (because it is VIRUS free and no need to install any anti-virus softwares.) I demonstrated the Linux Mint, which was installed in my Lapi. Being fascinated by the looks and functionalities, he told me to go for it.https://harishbhat.com/tech-zone/configuring-bsnl-nic-internet-card-in-felicia-linux-mint/Sun, 05 Apr 2009 15:57:48 +0000https://harishbhat.com/tech-zone/configuring-bsnl-nic-internet-card-in-felicia-linux-mint/Recently I purchased BSNL NIC card for my browsing needs. The modem BSNL uses is Huwaei EC325. Along with the device they provide drivers in a Mini CD. The driver is for WIndows… not for Linux. Since I using Linux for my computing needs, I have to find a way to Configure it in MINT. The configuration steps: 1 Let us start by Installing ‘wvdial’. ‘wvdial’ is a intelligent PPP(Point-to-Point Protocol) dialer.https://harishbhat.com/tech-zone/finally-i-found-felicia/Sat, 04 Apr 2009 17:35:00 +0000https://harishbhat.com/tech-zone/finally-i-found-felicia/My search for the best Linux Disto has come to an end after a year. Yes it took me almost a year to decide and select the perfect OS for my Laptop. Finally I satisfied with the Mint. The version I installed in my laptop is ‘Linux Mint 6’. I have chosen Mint mainly because it includes media codecs. Along with the media codecs, it also supports browser plugins, DVD playback, Java and other components.https://harishbhat.com/tech-zone/effect-of-radiation-on-human-body/Mon, 31 Dec 2007 03:49:48 +0000https://harishbhat.com/tech-zone/effect-of-radiation-on-human-body/RF Radio Frequency plays a significant role in todays communication. Almost every electronic device emiits a radiation. Now a days especially in India almost every person holds a device called mobile phone in his hand. The mobile phones are the one of the major source of RF. In the year 2010, it is estimated that 105 million population will be having this device. It is therefore no surprise that there is increasing concern over the possible health effect when using these device.
