		<sect1>
			<title>Connecting to and Using the Internet</title>
			<para>The Internet is used daily by millions of people for work and entertainment. Searching for
			information all over the world, corresponding with friends
			and relatives, participating in discussion forums, reading the news, playing games,
			has never been easier... or more accessible.</para>
			<para>The means of connecting to the Internet is not always a choice and depends greatly on where you live and/or work
 			and the surrounding infrastructure. The pre-requisites to connect to the Internet are an Internet Service Provider (ISP) subscription and a functional Internet connection in your area.
 			Configuring the Internet connection requires minimal involvement from you. Ubuntu supports most connection types, this
 			lesson  will cover: Broadband (cable or ASDL), dial-up and direct access through Local Area Network (LAN).</para>
			<tip><title><emphasis role="strong">Nice to Know:</emphasis></title>
			<para>Broadband refers to either Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line (ADSL) or a DOCSIS connection (television cable).</para> 
			<para>Ethernet Modem (PPPoE) uses a modem connected to the computer with an Ethernet network cable.  
				It is generally used in conjunction with Broadband connection.</para>
			<para>Dial-up uses dial-up connection, and is limited to 56 kbit/s or slower.</para> 
			<para>Local Area Network (LAN) uses Ethernet or wireless, and is generally also used in conjunction with a Broadband connection.</para>
			<para>Mobile Phone uses modem functionality integrated into modern mobile phones.</para></tip>
			<para>Broadband connections are fast and reliable connections that users subscribe to
			for a fixed monthly fee. Broadband companies offer packages with different speed
			specifications and bandwidth limits. If you travel and need Internet access, you
			can purchase a wireless Internet connection. If your computer does not have one pre-installed, 
			you will need to install a wireless card. This connection is similar to a satellite connection, where data is
			transmitted through the airwaves.</para>
			<para>Dial-up access uses the same lines as your phone connection, except that the parties at the two ends are computers. This is a slow and cheap connection 
			that uses a phone line to connect to a local server. Your computer dials a phone number that is provided by your ISP and
			connects to the server. Consequently, you cannot make phone calls while you are connected to the Internet.  This is oldest and slowest means of connecting; carrying out many functions
			using this mode can be very tedious and frustrating.</para>
			<sect2>
				<title>Network Manager</title>
			<para>The Network Manager on Ubuntu is a simple to use and powerful utility to stay connected with wired and wireless adapters. It is located on the top menubar at the outer right corner.
			A left-click will reveal if your computer is already connected to a wired or wireless network. In case of a wireless network that is protected by a password, a dialogue will appear and ask for the password.
			The password can then be stored in your keyring, where it will automatically be used when needed. However, you may be asked for your keyring password if you have to log out.</para>

			<title>Accessing Newsreaders</title>
			<para>Newsreaders are programs that allow you to read newsgroups. Newsgroups correspond to notice boards where
			people post comments and discuss subjects of mutual interest. Anyone can participate in this discussion and
			post their thoughts. Newsgroups cover almost any topic, such as computers, social issues, literature and
			science, job postings etc. It is a fast and easy way to communicate with
			people from all over the world.</para>
			<tip><title><emphasis role="strong">Nice to Know:</emphasis></title>
			<para>Newsgroups or forums were originally developed so that
			scientists could post questions and answers.</para></tip>
			<para>Newsgroups are comparable to e-mail lists; if you are interested in a group, instruct your newsreader to subscribe 
			you to that group. Your newsreader adds this group to your subscribed list and then, makes this group more accessible and
			saves information, such as which messages you have already read and much more. When you open this newsgroup to read, there 
			will be a bunch of messages from several people. You will have something that looks similar to your e-mail inbox. The 
			difference is that the message is addressed to the group you were interested in and not to you.  Similarly, if you select
			to post a message in response to a message you are reading, you need to decide whether to reply to the newsgroup, to author or to both. So, it is your choice to use newsgroup or mailing list to read messages. Some people prefer not to have messages arriving by e-mail all the time, and others prefer visiting groups when they wish to, rather than reading every message. The news server posts expire after a certain amount of time. This time is determined by the person running the server.</para> 
			<note><title><emphasis role="strong">Note:</emphasis></title> 
<para>
USEr NETwork (Usenet) is the main source of newsgroups and newsfeeds. Usenet is an Internet discussion system where people read and post e-mail-like messages called posts to one or more of a number of categories called newsgroups. News feeds allow you to see when Web sites have added new content. You can get the latest headlines and video in one place, as soon as it is published, without having to visit the Websites you have taken the feed from. Feeds, also known as Really Simple Syndication (RSS), are just Web pages designed to be read by computers rather than people.</para></note>
			<para>There are two types of newsreaders, online and offline. The online newsreader downloads just the message headers, and you see 
			what looks like a mailbox. The messages themselves however, are not on your machine. As you access a particular message,
			the newsreader retrieves it from the server. When you are done reading a message, it is not stored on your machine, 
			unless you save it specifically. Offline newsreaders, on the other hand, connect to the server, download all new messages for the newsgroups to which you are subscribed, upload any posts you wrote since the last time you connected to the server, and then disconnect. You can then read the messages as you wish, composing replies and new posts to be uploaded next time you choose to connect. In this section we will cover two types of Newsreaders, Linux feed reader (Liferea) and Thunderbird.</para>

			<title>Instant Messaging</title>
			<para>E-mail message is not expected to be real-time, which means you can respond to it when time allows.
			But when 'Immediacy' is required, instant messaging (IM) is the way to go. Using IM over the Internet
			can bring down costs of long distance phone calls when you want to stay in contact with friends. While
			in office, if you want an answer to a simple question, IM facilitates quick and easy communication and
			reduces the amount of e-mail messages sent and received in a day. IM also enables you to view a person
			using Web-cams or talk over the Internet for free.</para>
			<para>The default instant messenger client on Ubuntu is Pidgin, a cross-platform instant messenger that
			supports various popular IM network protocols. Using Pidgin, you can communicate with people who use America
			Online (AOL) Instant Messenger (AIM/ICQ), Gadu-Gadu, GroupWise, IRC, Jabber, MSN, Napster and Yahoo. It
			allows you to list all your friends in one window. Pidgin users can log on to multiple accounts on multiple IM networks simultaneously. This means that you can chat with friends on AIM, talk to a friend on Yahoo Messenger, and sit in an IRC channel, all at the same time. Pidgin supports many features of the various networks, such as file transfer, away messages, typing notification, and MSN window closing notification. A few popular features are Buddy Pounces, which give the ability to notify you, send a message, play a sound or run a program when a specific buddy goes away, signs online or returns from idle.</para>
			
			<para>To connect to an existing e-mail account using the Pidgin instant messenger, perform the following
			steps:</para>

			<title>Making Phone Calls Using Softphones</title>

			calls for free, but PC-to-phone and phone-to-PC calls usually are charged. You need to have the same

			defines how voice is translated into digital signals. Examples of

It is of course possible to call users who are using another provider than ekiga.net. You can actually call any user using SIP software or hardware, registered to any public SIP provider. To make calls, you can type the Uniform Resource Locator (URL) address of the user you wish to call in the <emphasis role="strong">sip:</emphasis> input box and click the connect icon on the right of the text box to place a call. If you know the URL address of the party that you wish to call, you may enter that URL into the sip: input box at the top of the screen and press the Connect button.

				<title>Skype</title>
				<para>Skype is another softphone that can be used on Ubuntu to make calls over the Internet. The source code of Skype software is proprietary,
				but the software is free to use. Your calls go through distributed servers and not through
				a central server. To accomplish this, Skype uses a decentralized peer-to-peer technologies and its own
				proprietary communication protocol. Skype uses encrypted communication, which means all communications
				are encrypted from end-to-end so that others cannot listen in. We will not go into detail over Skype communication here.</para>
