A limited “unlimited”
As I’ve wrote at wordpress blog, I got myself a *brand new* USB modem (or so the seller said). I bought a cheap Telkomsel unlimited plan, since the Tri starter pack that bundled with the modem didn’t connect, initially (more on that later).
A 50K rupiah for unlimited plan with 200MB quota seems reasonable at that time, even though Telkomsel didn’t always held the promises. They claimed I could get maximum speed of 384kbps, while in reality it never goes past 50kbps, even on fair usage period. When the fair usage reached, it’s just went downhill. I’d rather refill the prepaid credit and reset the quota than to wait a page load for minutes (sometimes I have to unplug-then-plug-back the modem).

The Canterbury Project
What happen when big Linux distribution combine each of their strength into one distribution? The answer: The Canterbury Project.
Canterbury is the future!
Canterbury will be as technologically simple as Arch, as stable as Debian, malleable as Gentoo, have a solid Live framework as Grml, and be as open minded as openSUSE.
Then again, this sort of thing usually is too good to be true
