<elacheche> Kilos, 2or 3 months ago I forced a coworker to use Ubuntu as a Dev OS.. She hated me for that :) :D :D
<Kilos> lol
<elacheche> Last Friday she told me that she'll install Ubuntu on here personal laptop because it's better :) :D
<Kilos> they all wake up sooner or later
<Kilos> some are just stubborn
<elacheche> An other one was using Ubuntu for 2 years now.. She was complaining all the time, it's not good, it's not stable, it crachs, it bugs, etc, etc.. Last week she switched back to Win to test one of our applications, she came to me telling me that Ubuntu is far far better than WinBugs x) :D
<elacheche> Salam Mohamed_linux, Greetings from Tunisia :)
<Mohamed_linux> o 3leekom al slaaaaam :)

<elacheche> Mohamed_linux, I use many versions/derivatives of ubuntu, why you're asking?

<andrewlsd> Hi Kilos, methinks the "AfricanTeams" page should include links to the loco page
<andrewlsd> for each company
<andrewlsd> s/company/country/
<Kilos> add it elacheche
<Kilos> oh sorry andrewlsd  i thought that was from cheche
<andrewlsd> ^ I see there is a link to the full ubuntu loco list, but I ended up there by accident.
<andrewlsd> so mebbe each country listing could be a shortcut (where applicable) to that country's own loco page.
<andrewlsd> no worries Kilos
<Kilos> i get kinda deurmekaar at times
<Kilos> hehe
<Kilos> can you still not post on trello?

<Mohamed_linux> actually most of the work done on the internet
<melodie> which distro would you advice me to try for this purpose?
<Mohamed_linux> may contribution on defining QoS quality of service policyies and rules
<melodie> excuse me: what do you mean when you say "may" ?
<melodie> it seems out of context..
<Mohamed_linux> to give servers and router involved on the process of call setup and media stream get guality
<Mohamed_linux> my :)
<Mohamed_linux> my not may
<melodie> ok
<Mohamed_linux> ok
<Mohamed_linux> really you are great person i like your work
<melodie> if you need a linux box easy to go and very light, you can use Bento Openbox (it's not supported officially, and it relies fully on the Ubuntu repos)
<Mohamed_linux> what is desktop envirment there?
<melodie> if you need it to make your own on top of it, it's very easy with Ubuntu Builder (see Kamilion's ppa)
<melodie> Openbox + openbox menu + obsession is the environment
<melodie> it's very easy to tweak to your liking
<melodie> I just need to give a few pointers in a documentation, which I started to write
<melodie> the idea is : "less is more" but more it looks like a windows xp, the better
<melodie> so there is lxpanel and the classic lxmenu, and also the openbox menu which has a dynamic application menu
<melodie> then you want to make it even ligher : possible and even easy!
<Mohamed_linux> ok
<melodie> I started also to write something about it, last year and it's on the way to be updated now (It's updated in French, I have to port the tutorial to English next)
<Mohamed_linux> i will tray it tommorow
<melodie> it lacks UEFI : I have to choose a method to bring it inside.
<melodie> will you try the small version or the larger one?
<Mohamed_linux> whar
<Mohamed_linux> what you recommends
<melodie> that depends
<melodie> well, both?
<melodie> one after the other? :)
<Mohamed_linux> i will stsa
<Mohamed_linux> i will stsa
<melodie> ok :)
<Mohamed_linux> i will start w
<Mohamed_linux> larger
<Mohamed_linux> :)
<Mohamed_linux> to see the full picture
<melodie> :)
<melodie> are you used to Ubuntu boxes? Synaptic? Else?
<Mohamed_linux> yes
<melodie> ok, so you should find it easy enough.
<melodie> I will be looking forward to your feedback. :)
<Mohamed_linux> yeah sure
<Mohamed_linux> I would like to give it tray
<Mohamed_linux> if my connection now is so slow to download IOS
<Mohamed_linux> no if :(
<Mohamed_linux> looool
<melodie> do you use wget ?
<melodie> to download?
<Mohamed_linux> wget, git ..etc
<Mohamed_linux> clone also works fine on ubuntu
<melodie> some guys for South Africa and North Africa, and others told me in their countries the post office is super bad, and very unreliable. How is it in Sudan?
<melodie> I don't know clone (googling "clone" now)
<Mohamed_linux> get cloning the web site containing image files like ISO .rar ,gz and so
<melodie> clone downloads files?
<Mohamed_linux> yes sure its most modern way
<Mohamed_linux> used by new software devolpers
<melodie> it's not a free open source soft?
<Mohamed_linux> totally free
<melodie> open source? do you have a link? :)
<Mohamed_linux> QA google git clone
<QA> Mohamed_linux: "Git - git-clone Documentation" http://git-scm.com/docs/git-clone :: "Git - Getting a Git Repository" https://git-scm.com/book/it/v2/Git-Basics-Getting-a-Git-Repository :: "Setting up a repository - git-clone | Atlassian Git Tutorial" https://www.atlassian.com/git/tutorials/setting-up-a-repository/git-clone/ :: "Clone - Git Reference" http://gitref.org/creating/ :: "Importing a Git repository using the commanâ¦
<melodie> Mohamed_linux oh! git-clone ! I get it
<Mohamed_linux> QA google git clone github
<QA> Mohamed_linux: "Fetching a remote - User Documentation - GitHub Help" https://help.github.com/articles/fetching-a-remote/ :: "Fork A Repo - User Documentation - GitHub Help" https://help.github.com/articles/fork-a-repo/ :: "Which remote URL should I use? - User Documentation - GitHub Help" https://help.github.com/articles/which-remote-url-should-i-use/ :: "Importing a Git repository using the command line ... - GitHub Help"â¦
<Mohamed_linux> loool
<melodie> git is one, clone is a non free software, for Windows, and git-clone yet another soft XD
<Mohamed_linux> hhhhhhhh that what i meant
<melodie> :)
<melodie> wget has options
<melodie> you know "-c" right?
<melodie> do you know "--limit-rate" ?
<melodie> saying because in my "young years" I used wget to obtain Debian testing "netinstall" version.
<melodie> I had 56kbps (dialup) and wget helping it took one week to get the iso. XD
<Mohamed_linux> man wget now ....
<melodie> while leaving some access to the web, while downloading. :)
<melodie> well about wget, of course it's in Bento, and you will also find lftp which is very convenient, and can be used a ftp client and also with ssh connection : "lftp sftp://login@server:/"
<Mohamed_linux>  -c
<Mohamed_linux>        --continue
<Mohamed_linux>            Continue getting a partially-downloaded file.  This is useful when you want to finish up a download started by a previous
<Mohamed_linux>            instance of Wget, or by another program.  For instance:
<Mohamed_linux>                    wget -c ftp://sunsite.doc.ic.ac.uk/ls-lR.Z
<melodie> you need some configuration files in .config/lftp to achieve that
<melodie> yes and -c is also used in lftp
<melodie> for instance
<melodie> so you do : wget -c ftp://sunsite.doc.ic.ac.uk/ls-lR.Z
<melodie> then you hit Ctrl+c to stop it
<Mohamed_linux> I see
<melodie> then you call back the command line in the same console, and hop! download resumes without loosing one bit!
<Mohamed_linux> yeah yeah
<melodie> and --limit-rate allows reducing the download speed to leave some bandwidth for other uses (surf, mail.. )
<melodie> and the same is possible with lftp with "set net:limit-rate X:Y"
<Mohamed_linux> you asked me earlier about post office
<melodie> where X: is the download rate and :Y the upload rate
<melodie> yes?
<Mohamed_linux> we have this service but not cool
<melodie> aha
<melodie> how uncool is it?
<Mohamed_linux> and cost much money and used only by org and gov
<melodie> O_O
<melodie> post office???
<Mohamed_linux> yeah every body can register and have account key but its expensive
<Mohamed_linux> loool
<Mohamed_linux> you know frdex right?
<melodie> register... account key... what are they?
<melodie> Fedex ?
<melodie> UPS ?
<Mohamed_linux> yeah
<melodie> yes private companies, why?
<Mohamed_linux> they can deliver to you here in sudan but submitted by gov post office then you have to pay a gain to the gov
<Mohamed_linux> bay again to gov .. can you believe that
<Mohamed_linux> looool
<melodie> the gov is tricky
<melodie> here we pay the stamps to the post office
<melodie> the cost includes the VAT
<Mohamed_linux> you in france you have this by default since nabilon bonaert no gov fees
<melodie> the cost of expedition is more and more expensive, but people using internet a lot tend to send less and less postal mail
<Mohamed_linux> you in france you have this by default since nabilon bonaert no gov fees
<melodie> I get it don't worry
<melodie> I just told you what we get
<melodie> hidden fees :)
<Mohamed_linux> hhhhhh
<melodie> but the post office is very reliable
<melodie> and quite fast
<melodie> a letter takes 1 to 3 days to be delivered
<melodie> simple letter with no additional cost
<Mohamed_linux> yes i know i see it on movies
<melodie> lol !
<melodie> that seems science fiction to me
<melodie> seeing what I see irl : in movies. XD
<Mohamed_linux> too much
<melodie> has anyone considered starting a business with teamed Gnous?
<melodie> XD
<melodie> to carriage stuff through Africa (let's say: Pinguins in CD's and usb sticks?)
<Mohamed_linux> what the time now ?
<melodie> 1:09 am, and your's?
<Mohamed_linux> here 1:09 AM
<melodie> ok
<melodie> same then
<melodie> I have to go to sleep soon, feels tired now
<melodie> I suggest, if your web connection is not good, just download the small version
<melodie> and then add whatever apps you want on top of it
<melodie> I can give you the diff on a pastebin:
<melodie> here: http://pastebin.com/FtTXUBYJ
