Spatry I have mobile broadband internet connection and also a wi-fi, is it possible to follow your tutorials with those?

[LinuxSpatry]

@AlavHar I do not see any reason why you couldn't... I watch youtube videos on my android phone

[AlavHar]

@LinuxSpatry I see you misunderstood me :) I mean I connect to the internet on my laptop via a mobile broadband connection, or via wi-fi, is it possible to set up a connection of those types, after installing archbang? maybe you need to download some packages before that's possible...

P.S. sorry for my bad english :D

@AlavHar The network manager should automatically detect your wireless hardware after installation and allow you to connect. Most laptops in common use today should be supported.

@LinuxSpatry thanks :) again sorry for my english

[LinuxSpatry]

@AlavHar Mobile Broadband will work 100% (except 4G), wi-fi depending on card - if it's broadcom you'll need to install driver by yourself.

Nice video. I use Archbang primarily and every now and then pinguy 11.10. Personally, I prefer Archbang to archlinux direct as it installs ready to go. Archbang makes archlinux a little easier to install as it gives user instant DE, flash and all the basic things you need upon first install. It is pretty fast. It is so fast, loaded my install with xfce4.8, lxde, e17(enlightenment), razor-qt, kde, gnome 3, cinnamon, and now trying xmonad. I am still a beginner at heart. I replaced slim with gdm2
