i am a ubuntu

This morning I was browsing through Synaptic Package Manager to do some manual cleaning up of unused package files, I got bored watching Jakarta Composite Index went to unwanted direction although it finally closed in safe point :p
So I started with sorting the biggest space eater first and here's what I found. The biggest space eater in my laptop is ubuntu-docs which consumes 259 MB, while its download package is a mere 474 kB.

What is ubuntu-docs? According to its description :

This package holds the official Ubuntu-specific documentation, maintained
by the Ubuntu Documentation Team. The documentation can be viewed using
Yelp, the GNOME help browser.

So basically it's a huge help file, or what?

keyword : ubuntu-docs, space eater

I have problem with my GSM modem, not the modem itself, but the service in my area is getting worse day by day.
Fortunately I have an old CDMA phone/modem lying around, the bad news is network manager couldn't handle CDMA connection with extra initialization command.
That's where KPPP comes in. It has simple interface and yet provides deeper configurations should you need it.

Starting the KPPP will open up this dialog box :

Click configure to (of course!) configure your connection, Basically you have to configure your account and which modem to use. The trickiest part is in adding new modems. You should now where it is located e.g.: /dev/ttyACM0 for Nokia Phones connected via data cable. I don't know easy way to know this, yet.
You can add extra initialization command in Modems -> New... -> Modem -> Modem Commands.
