Berinternet dengan Puppy Linux

Salah satu kebutuhan yang harus dipenuhi oleh suatu distro OS Linux adalah kemudahan untuk berinternet baik menggunakan jalur LAN ataupun dial-up lewat kabel telepon (ADSL), jaringan GSM (GPRS, Edge, HSDPA) maupun CDMA (CDMA2000 1X, EVDO). Berikut artikel tentang bagaimana berinternet menggunakan dial-up secara umum di Distro Puppy Linux OS. Mudah-mudahan bermanfaat.

Seperti distro Linux lainnya, Puppy Linux menggunakan aplikasi wvdial (beserta library pendukungnya seperti wvstream) sebagai back-end aplikasinya. Jadi, kalau Anda sudah pernah melakukan dialup networking dengan distro lain, misalnya UBuntu, SuSE, Anda tidak akan kesulitan untuk mensetup dialup ini di Puppy Linux OS. Yang beda adalah aplikasi front-endnya, yaitu GUI berbasis X untuk memudahkan kita untuk mensetup dan melakukan koneksi ke dial-up server.
