Re: Question for Linux users

Based on recommendations received here last summer, I installed Ubuntu Linux on my laptop. It has been interesting, but never took over as primary use because too many things I do have "Windows only" software. However, this morning I was reading about a new "video/TV" software called Boxee (http://www.boxee.tv/), and wanted to give it a try. The problem is that it runs under Linux and on Apple, but not Windows. So, I booted into Linux and discovered that I can't find any software that will let me go online using the cell phone as a tethered modem (it's probably there, but I am just too Linux illiterate to find it). If anyone could point me in the right direction (maybe with some instructions? ;-) ) I would appreciate it. BTW, I am using T-Mobile if that makes any difference.
