For me I simply plugged in the N900 using a micro-USB cable, then selected PC suite mode on the N900 when it came up. Under Ubuntu I then clicked on the network connections. It showed the Nokia N900 (PC Suite Mode) and under it I was able to set up a new GSM connection. It took all of like 15 seconds and then I was able to connect and use it. Very slick.
I am very happy now, will try this with my mini-laptop...

Yup, it works!
Just connected my Acer Aspire One running Ubuntu Netbook Remix to mobile broadband with my N900, it really did take 15 seconds.
There's a setup wizard that appears the first time you use it, but all you have to do is choose a country and then a service provider. Everything else is totally automatic.
And because the N900 has USB charging you don't even have to worry about its battery life, it takes charge from the laptop while being used as a modem.
This feature alone is worth a lot to me. Thank you to whoever added this to Ubuntu, it used to be very difficult to get it to run with phone modems but this works perfectly.

It came in handy for me on my Ubuntu 9.10 box the other day, saved me the trouble of plugging in an ethernet cable.
