| thoreauputic | nickrud: well, tune in with realplayer - the plugins for firefox seem to work OK here | 12:50 |

| cafuego | indentbp: A different distro will still have the same issue. A new card might be a better option. I have a WG311, which works fine using ndiswrapper. | 12:51 |

| ubotu | okay, IIIEars | 02:19 |
| socomm | Well you could make a boot floppy and then point the installer to use the CD. | 02:19 |

| === bpucci1 is now known as bpuccio | ||

| funkyHat | well, i'd like to be able to configue both my soundcards :D not a lot of hope of that is there | 02:40 |
| wonderland | but how does apache now that public_html | 02:40 |
| wonderland | is being part of its webserver | 02:40 |
| bob2 | wonderland: it's configured to do that in apache2.conf | 02:40 |
| nickrud | funkyHat, yes, alsa supports that, look on alsa-project.org | 02:41 |
| wonderland | ok so im going to add a file in there called index.php but how do i access that file | 02:41 |
| PLaf | great, im trying to make a boot disk and windoze is giving me magic disk problems rofl | 02:41 |

| tobsen | yes | 02:42 |
| tobsen | i was just told i should type "su command" | 02:42 |

| kbrooks | this is not a "security risk" | 02:57 |
| aru | wonderland: I would consider going back to windows if I were you | 02:57 |
| funkyHat | call it whatever you want, chown that to $USER:apache | 02:57 |
| bob2 | wonderland: how on earth is it a security risk? | 02:57 |
| kbrooks | aru! | 02:57 |
| chaps0063 | wonderland: are you editing locally or are people other than those on your computer going to access them? | 02:57 |
| DAC1138 | knowledge_, try "dhclient eth1" or whatever your wifi card was detected as | 02:57 |
| pax | wonderland: your other option is to set a vhost and have rootdir as user dir | 02:57 |
| kbrooks | DONT BE SERIOUS | 02:57 |

| DAC1138 | knowledge_, ah, yeah, i'd say reinstall | 02:58 |
| knowledge_ | and the only reason I patched it was because there was a how to | 02:58 |
| indentp | with ndiswrapper? | 02:58 |
| wonderland | so now every nows my problem, what can i do apart from changing the permission of var/www/ | 02:58 |

| chaps0063 | wonderland: who told you its a security risk? | 02:59 |

| Madpilot | !html | 03:22 |
| ubotu | [html] HyperText Markup Language, used to build webpages. HTML editors available in Hoary include Bluefish & Screem, both installable through Synaptic. HTML can also be written in any text editor, as purists will be quick to tell you! | 03:22 |
| kbrooks | wonderland, because linux sucks. | 03:22 |
| Davey | ablyss: whats the second graph to the right of the CPU one? | 03:22 |
| nalioth | wonderland: anything outside of your home directory belongs to someone else, that is why it's "locked" | 03:22 |
| ablyss | Davey: CPU and memory | 03:22 |
| DAC1138 | JDahl, thats what i did | 03:22 |
| HrdwrBoB | MIK3MAN: any of them, they're effectively all the same | 03:22 |

| nalioth | pschulz01: i answered your question right after you asked it | 03:22 |

| ksmurf | http:/http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/315370 | 04:56 |
| jasoncohen | Burgundavia, i compiled the package from breezy and installed it with checkinstall (i couldn't compile it with apt-get source -b because its build dependencies couldn't be satisfied but it apparently compiled fine nonetheless) | 04:56 |
| kevogod | axis: ATI has poor driver support in Linux. | 04:56 |
| giant | axis, how can you get MAD FPS by running the program through a non native OS? | 04:56 |
| nickrud | bojangles, does xen do windows again? | 04:56 |
| ksmurf | There is a couple of questions I have like how do I do it | 04:56 |
| giant | I though it did | 04:56 |
| kevogod | axis: You need to get the fglrx drivers from ATI's site. | 04:56 |
| axis | giant, : beyond me, i haven't done it yet.. .. | 04:56 |
| tritium | ksmurf, you're always welcome to ask | 04:56 |
| jasoncohen | Burgundavia, the program not only is fixed but in the 2.11.5 version, there are sane choices for ending or killing a program and there's a device section- very nice indeed | 04:56 |
| bojangles | nickrud, well right now...you can run patched versions of the hurd, linux, and bsd under xen | 04:56 |
| concept10 | Any more takers please? | 04:56 |

| tritium | kevogod, sure it does | 04:58 |
| kevogod | You have to add repositories. | 04:58 |
| nickrud | ksmurf, that seems pretty generic | 04:58 |
| ksmurf | and how to write one | 04:58 |
| MIK3MAN | burning it slower this time | 04:58 |
| kevogod | (Or enable) | 04:58 |
| qt2 | bojangles, what's this 'zen' you speak of? | 04:58 |
| giant | how good is ubuntu's Radeon support? | 04:58 |
| tritium | kevogod, no, it's in restricted, which is enabled by default | 04:58 |
| qt2 | oh... xen... | 04:58 |
| giant | Xen... its a VM program | 04:58 |
| ksmurf | nickrud that's what I thought | 04:58 |
| giant | suposed to be really good | 04:58 |
| kevogod | They're still not installed. | 04:58 |
| concept10 | thoreauputic, It really doesnt matter, I just need people that have had no prior linux experience (you know someone from Red Hat 5.2). Im looking for recent switchers. There is no money in this for me. Just something im working on | 04:58 |
| kevogod | The drivers. | 04:58 |
| qt2 | i see... | 04:58 |
| tritium | kevin, but they are avialable for installation | 04:59 |
| qt2 | hm... i wonder if its in synaptic... o.o; | 04:59 |

| kevogod | So downloading them ATI's site or from Restricted... what's the difference? | 04:59 |
| kevogod | *from | 04:59 |

| ksmurf | k | 05:00 |
| ksmurf | thanks | 05:00 |
| giant | but its mostly if it doens't install and go to a GUI I'm at a loss as to how to debug it and make it work | 05:00 |
| giant | so I'mnot a very good linux person yet | 05:00 |
| nickrud | ksmurf, for example, you could create a bash script that does 'hdparm -d1 /dev/cdrom', drop it into /etc/init.d, and use update-rc.d to add it to the /etc/rc2.d directory | 05:00 |
| memoryleek | how many of you are running ubuntu on a laptop | 05:00 |

| thoreauputic | Mechcozmo: generally stuff tends to work out of the box | 05:48 |
| giant | not important... I wanted the tunnel anyway | 05:48 |
| giant | later all | 05:48 |
| Mechcozmo | which is the wrong answer.... | 05:48 |
| mjkelly93 | poutine, try grep EE /var/log/Xorg.0.log | 05:48 |

| TokenBad | besides network tools is there anything else in ubuntu that can do like traceroute? | 05:50 |
| redguy | Mechcozmo: on install, when dhcp fails you can enter static IPs. Later you would have to edit /etc/network/interfaces | 05:50 |
| mjkelly93 | elmagozizou, huh, nope havent heard that one yet | 05:50 |
| killapop | Mechcozmo: network-admin gives u a gui to do it thru | 05:50 |

| thoreauputic | Mechcozmo: on really old hardware you need to use lighter apps and window managers | 06:07 |

| jasoncohen | they make a valid argument that by distributing firefox in the way that debian, ubuntu and other distros distribute it, you're not getting an official mozilla package and when things break they get the complaints- like the inability to use extensions. in order for them to have safely allowed ubuntu users, they would have had to look at the full version tag of firefox- and do the same for all distros | 07:43 |

| SysFail | would be nice if konqueror worked without crashing...wouldnt need firefox :) | 07:44 |
| Burgundavia | jasoncohen, the reason mozilla had to break u.m.o is because they cannot tell if a version is patched except through the vendorstring | 07:44 |
| jasoncohen | for me the issue is that it's unacceptable that mozilla-browser still hiasn't been patched and that warty's firefox and mozilla haven't been patched | 07:44 |

Well, a newbie expects to have the latest version of firefox. they don't understand the concept of backporting security fixes. When things break, regardless of who's fault it is, the users pay.

| bojangles | man that is hard to believe that India is pirating windows at 80%...I always thought they were the most honest people and that they would each pay $20,000 for a basic version of MS enterprise | 07:52 |
| swarm | iceman: there is good support but not perfect. Depends on what you need. Ubuntu works fine for what I need. Of course wine still doesn't work. Check even debian-amd64. | 07:52 |
| robotgeek | bojangles: lol | 07:52 |
| jasoncohen | Burgundavia, i personally just installed the official firefox build. Unfortunately that solution isn't as nice for upgrades, is more difficult for new users, and requires manual linking to /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins | 07:52 |
| iceman | What software is out supporting 64 bit .. | 07:52 |
| Burgundavia | jasoncohen, yes | 07:52 |
| andrewcool | i have a amd 64 anthlon but do i get the intel or amd64 install cd | 07:52 |
| Burgundavia | iceman, almost everything in the ubuntu repos can run on amd64 | 07:53 |
| HrdwrBoB | andrewcool: you can get either | 07:53 |
| Dr_Willis | andrewcool, if you want the 64bit disrto get the amd64 | 07:53 |
| andrewcool | which one is better :D... | 07:53 |
| Dr_Willis | however going '64 bit' can have some annoying issues. | 07:53 |
| === bimberi [~bimberi@DC-245-60.bpb.bigpond.com] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| jasoncohen | Burgundavia, doesn't everything in main have to be supported on all 3 archs? | 07:53 |
| Dr_Willis | so i stick to the 32 bit for the time being. | 07:53 |
| iceman | What issues... | 07:53 |
| Burgundavia | jasoncohen, yes | 07:53 |
| bojangles | robotgeek, what is so funny...the prices escalate far beyond that per person for a basic enterprise system plus a few enhancements | 07:53 |
| swarm | andrewcool: if you want most stable thing use intel install. if you want most performance but a few things not working use amd64 install as I'm doing. | 07:53 |
| robotgeek | bojangles: how did u arrive at the 80% figure? | 07:54 |
| andrewcool | ok thanks | 07:54 |
| Dr_Willis | flash, some other web things.. cedega/wine quirks.. | 07:54 |
| bojangles | robotgeek, that is what this dude said earlier in here. | 07:54 |
| robotgeek | bojangles: sorry, just came in :). I think the figure would be much higher, though | 07:54 |
| jasoncohen | swarm, there are packages missing from amd64 like mplayer | 07:54 |
| iceman | I know my p4 lacks hyperthreading... so i gain hyper transport in the move ... | 07:54 |
| bojangles | robotgeek, well i can't understand why they don't each pay the $20,000 to get started and be honest. | 07:55 |
| swarm | jasoncohen: yes indeed | 07:55 |
| jasoncohen | swarm, anything in main will be on amd64 but bets are off for univese and multiverse. most apps are built for amd64 but not all. it depends on what *you* need | 07:55 |

| robotgeek | bojangles: i think it's difficult if that represents your life savings! | 07:55 |
| swarm | jasoncohen: that's what I have tried to say. even debian amd64 misses some hundred packages over almost 6000. | 07:55 |
| Wckdkl0wn | npdsply error occurs in firefox how would i fix it... i did google for it but keeps coming up as a problem for windows | 07:55 |
| jasoncohen | swarm, it can't be 6,000. i thought they had 98-99% of packages | 07:55 |
| kidaa | it's a long shot but does anybody here have any experience using ubuntu in a medical practice at either user or support? | 07:56 |
| bojangles | robotgeek, that is no excuse...they know that MS is on the side of "intellectual robbery....i mean property" | 07:56 |

| swarm | jasoncohen: no, I mean 98% of about 6000. | 07:56 |
| jasoncohen | well, debian doesn't even have an OO version for amd64. hoary just has a 32 bit version for amd64 because it won't compile clean for a 64 bit processor | 07:56 |

| jasoncohen | bojangles, the debian maintainers are damn good. everything in "main" on sarge should work as it's been thouroughly tested, and remember- main on debian probably includes 13-14,000 packages. it encompasses all free software, unlike ubuntu | 07:58 |

| [2] BoxingFiend | kidaa: hard question to answer, linux is so versatile, from a firewall, LAMP, desktop replacement... I personally don't know of linux distro in the medical field, but my wife uses linux on her laptop and she's in the medical field | 07:58 |

| jasoncohen | bojangles, check out packages.debian.org. nearly everything is in main. contrib and non-free only have packages that can't be included in main for licensing reasons. everything in main gets full security support and is thoroughly tested. they're not handpicked packages like in ubuntu main. it includes everything- which is why debian takes forever to release. they are testing 10s of thousands of packages on 11 architectures and | 08:01 |

| Amaranth | Gatton: whichever works | 08:38 |
| Madpilot | Nsaneice: not looking, but going, I thought? | 08:38 |
| Rattboi | Nsaneice: yeah, but I don't think that has much to do with their profit margins | 08:38 |
| GhostFreeman | can someone please tell me if PPC is superior than x86 | 08:38 |
| Amaranth | Gatton: doesn't make a difference, i just need to read it | 08:38 |
| robotgeek | IBM got a real sweet deal, with everyone buying chips from them. | 08:38 |

| eyequeue | robotgeek: i started by looking in /etc/default/acpi-support | 08:38 |
| Rattboi | especially since like Freescale was making a lot of PPC for Apple anyways | 08:38 |
| Nsaneice | Madpilot: No clue.. | 08:38 |
| bojangles | robotgeek, it is not just selling all the chips now...but they will lock in future sales because the chip buyers will want to maintain backward compatibility | 08:39 |
| Rattboi | GhostFreeman: superior how? | 08:39 |
| Rattboi | each will have it's advantages | 08:39 |
| Amaranth | GhostFreeman: PPC is superior on paper | 08:39 |
| hyphenated | GhostFreeman: they're not comparable like that. is white bread better than brown bread? | 08:39 |
| robotgeek | eyequeue: i don't have a acpi-support directory | 08:39 |
| NewUbuntuUser | this is a quick question that probably has a long answer... but in a nutshell... is it easy or at least POSSIBLE to play Battlefield 2 or World of Warcraft on Ubuntu? | 08:39 |
| Rattboi | hyphenated: exactly | 08:39 |
| shawarma | Hi! There's some sort of problem with liba52 and mplayer... Does anyone know what causes this? (To reproduce: try playing almost any DVD with the mplayer from multiverse) | 08:39 |
| bojangles | GhostFreeman, PPC is shit...but the cell processor is quite impressive | 08:39 |
| GhostFreeman | I think i understand | 08:39 |
| linukso | GhostFreeman: PowerPc is a much cooler name then x68 => superior! | 08:39 |

| Rattboi | :) | 08:39 |
| hyphenated | heh | 08:39 |
| Rattboi | I wonder what he'll say | 08:39 |
| eyequeue | robotgeek: acpi-support: /etc/acpi/lid.sh | 08:39 |
| bojangles | linukso, that is a lie...PPC is shit...the research went into the cell processor | 08:40 |
| Amaranth | GhostFreeman: And for floating point operations it's better than x86, but in reality the x86 generally blows the PPC away. | 08:40 |
| PPC_Guy | hey all. Question. Just added a second hd to my ubuntu box but can't see the flippin thing | 08:40 |
| GhostFreeman | hmm | 08:40 |
| Gatton | Amaranth, I sent it thanks | 08:40 |
| GhostFreeman | I was told x86 was inferior to PPC but then again he was a mac geek | 08:40 |
| Nsaneice | I think x86 uses less power and has less heat | 08:40 |
| Coag | didya format it PPC_Guy | 08:40 |
| Rattboi | yeah, mac guys will say that | 08:40 |
| Rattboi | most | 08:40 |
| eyequeue | robotgeek: see if sudo apt-get install acpi-support seems like it wants to be reasonable on your box (not removing anything important for example) | 08:40 |
| PPC_Guy | yup | 08:40 |
| Amaranth | GhostFreeman: Everytime a new PPC comes out (G3, G4, G5) it is temporarily the fastest desktop CPU available but the x86 folks regain the crown quickly and the PPC just keeps falling behind until a new major version. | 08:40 |
| robotgeek | eyequeue: one sec | 08:41 |
| Coag | PPC didya mont t? | 08:41 |
| eyequeue | robotgeek: i'm on a breezy laptop, so things may differ a bit here | 08:41 |
| Rattboi | I can't believe that it's less heat | 08:41 |

| PaxAnima | is it possible to perform a netinstall of ubuntu using floppy? | 08:41 |
| GhostFreeman | so why the hell are the new consoles using PPC when x86, on paper, kicks its ass | 08:41 |
| eyequeue | robotgeek: nah, centrino here | 08:42 |
| nagual | when grub first installed itself during install it did some stuff 'automatically' question is, can i get back to that? | 08:42 |
| GhostFreeman | That's what I don't get. Seems like they're downgrading based on what you guys say | 08:42 |
| Amaranth | GhostFreeman: Because the PPC in the consoles is nothing like the one in desktop.s | 08:42 |
| GhostFreeman | true | 08:42 |
| robotgeek | eyequeue: apt-cache doesn't show acpi-support, or anything similiar | 08:42 |
| Amaranth | GhostFreeman: The console versions don't do out of order execution or any of the stuff a desktop machine needs. | 08:42 |
| Gatton | Amaranth, Nevermind. I'm a moron. I was leaving the Category picker blank when creating the new entry | 08:42 |
| Amaranth | GhostFreeman: They are tuned specifically to running games. | 08:42 |
| GhostFreeman | ok | 08:43 |
| eyequeue | the other thing to keep in mind is that clock speeds on one archetecture don't map well to clock speeds on another archetecture | 08:43 |

| daniels | (preferably xkbcomp itself if you want anything to work ...) | 10:34 |

| golanz | a question on usb drives: when I attach one, my dmesg doesn't tell me where it is attached (eg. sdb1) | 11:34 |
| golanz | how can I discover it for sure? | 11:35 |
| Wilow | I am rather annoyed. I use Ubuntu so that I can have a Linux Operating System to use. However I could have fixed this problem by reformatting and installing ubuntu again by now. The only thing that is stopping me are my remaining files on Unbuntu. | 11:35 |
| lonetree | i.e, when you copy a file or a folder with file over to a network share, the folder date changes to the current date and file date changes to 1980 01 01 tues | 11:35 |
| ColonelKernel | Wilow, the do grub-install -recheck /dev/hda | 11:35 |

| lonetree | works just fine | 11:37 |
| Wilow | I'm sick of reading articles and forums to learn linux. They mostly all lead to the wrong direction and searching in most cases such as these is a terribly painful process of elimination | 11:37 |
| lonetree | i do agree with you wilow | 11:37 |

| wilow | A very common occurrence. What happens is that Uncle Bill does not accept that any other operating system (O/S) apart from one created by Microsoft should be allowed to run on a PC. So, when you load / re-load any of Uncle Bill's O/Ss it will overwrite a part of your hard disk called the Master Boot Record (mbr). This is the bit that tells your PC, during boot up, where to find the operating system. (Knew this already.... but AMEN) | 12:02 |

| jnk | raven3x7, sound-juicer is a simple program to rip audio CDs... If you want to rip to mp3 instead or orgg vorbis or flac, you'll have to create an mp3 profile first (and install the gstreamer lame plugin) | 05:43 |

| ptlo | orangerange, it's just cpu priority. gedit is probably waiting for some I/O operation to finish (where "I/O" could be anything from reading a config file to accessing X server or sound daemon) | 08:34 |
| robert_pectol | Oh, and you can replace the .txt at the end with .sh for easier downloading... | 08:34 |
| tritium | hybrid_goth, :) | 08:34 |

| === tonyo [Antoine@dav-dhcp-157-160.ce.Berkeley.EDU] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| IFRFLYR | Will look - thanks! | 08:34 |
| orangerange | ptlo, but the only document i'm working on in gedit is my journal/diary. I've been waiting for 10 minutes now. | 08:34 |
| ptlo | orangerange: so giving it more CPU priority won't do the trick. anyways, you can do that even on an already running process with 'renice' command (there's probably a gui equivalent in ubuntu also, but i didn't use renice for a long time so i wouldn't know about that) | 08:35 |
| Will_ | What do I look at? | 08:35 |
| ChurcH_of_FoamY | whats the "tmp" directory used for? | 08:35 |
| ptlo | orangerange, did you start gedit from the terminal/shell, i.e. manually? | 08:35 |
| tonyo | hey, does anyone run ubuntu on a toshiba laptop? | 08:35 |
| sJaM | temp files ChurcH_of_FoamY | 08:35 |
| orangerange | ptlo, i started it from gui-->menu-->accessories or something like that. | 08:35 |

| Razor-X | orangerange: ressurect? | 08:37 |
| ^DodGeR^ | robert_pectol, looks pretty decent from quick read :) can i ask u a q though , im looking for 1-3 commands to enable internet-sharing , ie route from 192.168.1.X via me out on an interface - so wifey can surf | 08:37 |
| Razor-X | a question for you graphical text editor users -- stuck on a box without said text editor, what would you do? | 08:38 |
| ptlo | orangerange, hmm......you could in theory run strace (process tracing) on it and see where it's stuck, but if you're unfammiliar with unix programming that won't do much help. i suggest you close it and start it again (if the problem persists, run it from the terminal, it might give some error output there) | 08:38 |
| tritium | orangerange, is it locked up? Can you just kill it and restart it? | 08:38 |
| ^DodGeR^ | i dont want to ahve to runa big script/firewall for that , just two or soe iptables commands to route her out through me | 08:38 |
| Razor-X | and no ability to forward an X session | 08:38 |
| orangerange | Razor-X, it's not totally dead yet. It's on my panel. the cursor is blnking, but i can't make it work. i can't even do a force quit from the panel (right-click icon, select "close") | 08:38 |
| hybrid_goth | how do i forward a port | 08:38 |
| sJaM | just learn iptables ^DodGeR^ | 08:38 |
| sJaM | it isn't that difficult | 08:38 |
| orangerange | tritium, i can kill it, but i might lose some stuff i've typed | 08:39 |
| robert_pectol | ^DodGeR^: Pretty easy indeed! | 08:39 |
| === abarbaccia is now known as abarbaccia_away | ||
| sJaM | the basic stuff isn't difficult | 08:39 |
| Razor-X | orangerange: open up a terminal and type in "xkill" and hit enter | 08:39 |
| hybrid_goth | bbl | 08:39 |
| ^DodGeR^ | yeah but itll take me a while , i want 3 commands that i can memorize | 08:39 |
| ^DodGeR^ | hehe | 08:39 |
| tritium | orangerange, do you have multiple windows open? Is there an open dialog box that's hidden? | 08:39 |
| Razor-X | orangerange: you can't do anything about it, your stuff is probably lost | 08:39 |
| sJaM | you need to configure a router | 08:40 |
| sJaM | or a firewall | 08:40 |
| orangerange | tritium, i don't see any dialog box. I hit escape from the main gedit window to make sure. | 08:40 |
| Pro_Newbie | Can someone tell me which is the cyrilic layout ? I mean whicho the many ISO-**** and CP-**** | 08:40 |
| Razor-X | 'cept gedit probably comes with an auto-backup thing | 08:40 |
| ^DodGeR^ | i want to ./wifey-surf and ./wifey-nosurf | 08:40 |

| ^DodGeR^ | and as i said commands i can memorize hehe | 08:40 |
| Razor-X | so, maybe you have it backed up now | 08:40 |
| XRayNuke | ^DodGeR^: just write a script and memorize the name of the scriprt | 08:41 |
| Razor-X | anyways, it's time I leave | 08:41 |
| Razor-X | since I do have class and such | 08:41 |

| sJaM | if you block all trafic input and ouptut except localhost | 08:41 |

| loply | hi folks | 11:11 |
| Burgundavia | jasoncohen, it has only been around for a year? | 11:11 |
| tritium | jasoncohen, Debian is a much older project | 11:11 |
| Burgundavia | and debian is the 2nd oldest still active distro | 11:11 |
| jasoncohen | true, but ubuntu has gained a lot of popularity very quickly | 11:11 |
| hybrid_goth | grrr | 11:11 |
| loply | a few weeks ago both of my Hoary Hedgehog desktops stopped booting, telling me "pivot_root: no such file or directory \n /sbin/init: 428: cannot open dev/console: no such file"... is this a known issue? | 11:11 |
| jasoncohen | Burgundavia, what's the oldest- slackware? | 11:12 |
| _frank | Burgundavia: what is the oldest distro? slack? | 11:12 |
| hybrid_goth | jasoncohen: i second that | 11:12 |
| loply | this is with all ubuntu kernels including recovery mode | 11:12 |
| hybrid_goth | _frank: yup | 11:12 |
| Burgundavia | jasoncohen, _frank yes | 11:12 |
| pax | the oldest is minix :p | 11:12 |
| stinky | I have a wireless chipset on my laptop, ipw2200. And it worked yesterday , but this afternoon, it still "works" but it doesn't see any wireless networks anymore. Does Anybody have any idea what the problem could be | 11:13 |
| ptlo | jasoncohen, ubuntu doesn't start from scratch. it's based on a very high quality distro (debian), and adds new features which made it so popular (and also a cool "marketing" strategy :) | 11:13 |
| jasoncohen | ptlo, i know | 11:13 |
