mhzjsgotangco: hi05:30
mhzdo we have meeting 2morrow?05:30
jsgotangcomhz, hey! long time no chat05:30
mhzindeed05:30
jsgotangcoedubuntu?05:31
jsgotangcono idea05:31
jsgotangcothey are in london at the moment05:31
mhzoh05:31
mhzon their knees?05:31
jsgotangcodistro sprint05:31
mhzoh, right05:31
mhzjsgotangco: can i ask you a M$ question?05:32
jsgotangcosure05:33
mhzjsgotangco: thx. My wife has this light laptop (Compaq M300, no Cd drive to boot from and only a USB floppy) with a 700 MHz Intel, 10 GB and 192 MB of ram05:35
mhzShe wants to use Linux instead (I can boot it and installit via NetBoot) BUT she definately needs AutoCad and Vector programs05:36
mhzjsgotangco: so any ideas how she can actually run M$ only for those 2 Programs and live in Linux 90% of the time ?05:37
mhzObviously, when I install Linux I'll format and partition her HD05:37
jsgotangcoi think autocad can run on wine05:38
jsgotangconot sure about that vector thing05:38
jsgotangcoa lot of people really need autocad on linux05:38
mhzunfortuantely AutoCAD is a standard05:39
=== irvin is away: I'm busy
mhzjsgotangco: but usine wine would mean to ge more HW?05:44
mhz+t05:44
jsgotangcomore memory rather05:45
mhzhmmm05:45
jsgotangcoi get to run some pretty games on winecvs and they eat more ram compared to running it natively in windows05:45
mhzand in order to run Wine, will she need to "install" windows anyways? or it is a matter of downloading a ROM?05:46
mhzinstall = boot from CD which she just can't05:46
jsgotangcono05:48
jsgotangcowine uses a fakewindows root thing05:48
jsgotangcoits not really windows05:48
jsgotangcoyou still need the installer of the apps you want to run wine with though05:48
mhzoh05:50
mhzso the potenial good news is just a matter of getting more ram05:50
mhzas she will need no M$ CD05:50
mhzonly AutoCAD installer05:50
mhz?05:50
jsgotangcoyeah05:53
mhzokis, thx jsgotangco 05:53
jsgotangcounless AUTOCAD asks for the windows CD :/05:53
mhzyou 're kidding me?05:54
mhzis that even possible?05:54

tecshi, im planning to isntall edubuntu for my lil sister. but i see kde as a easier desktop imo. if i use the ubuntu cd, and download the edubuntu packages and kubuntu packages will that have the same result as to installing edubuntu and downloading kubuntu-desktop?01:31
spaceyyou install any of them and just install edubuntu-desktop or kubuntu-desktop. but edubuntu-desktop its not really useful ify ou use kde01:33
spaceyonly thing is a few programs01:33
ograkdeedu, the tux4kids suite and gcompris mainly 01:34
spaceyyou might as well install the software manually and change the background to something in edubuntu-artwork :P01:34
tecsso its more usable if the environment is gnome?01:34
ograits all developed and integrated with gnome ... usability is your chioce ;)01:36
ograif you find KDE more usable and dont want to use gnome, go for a kde based install ;)01:36
tecsok, well im jsut more comfortable with kde, but what do i care its for my little sister hehehe thanks01:36
tecsthanks guys:) see you later01:37
tecsstill downloading edubuntu hehe thanks again01:38
