Can you be a little more specific describing what you're trying to do?

Do you want to browse them on your computer from your phone?

Do you want to share your computer's connection to the Internet with your phone?

Are you looking for a distribution you can run *on* your phone?

It would likely help you to read the guide for posting questions on LQ.

Heh. You posted both of those questions in separate fora, didn't you?

So you want to share your PC's Internet connection; how do you want to connect the phone to it? Bluetooth? Wi-Fi?

To me it sounds more like a Phone-as-modem, using the phones web capability to allow the computer to browse. If that's the case, read this and see how it goes.

It would help a lot if everyone knew what you're running for Linux, on what kind of system and all the phone info too.
