[01:53] <eroniusmaximus> Hello People.
[01:59] <eroniusmaximus> I would like some help,
[01:59] <eroniusmaximus> I'm new to Linux and I want to know how to install Edubuntu
[02:00] <LaserJock> ok
[02:00] <LaserJock> are you wanting to put Edubuntu on regular machine?
[02:00] <LaserJock> or do you want to create a thin client server?
[02:00] <eroniusmaximus> err
[02:00] <eroniusmaximus> regular laptop
[02:01] <eroniusmaximus> duel boot - so that i can use XP too
[02:01] <eroniusmaximus> i downloaded the Edubuntu ISO,
[02:01] <LaserJock> ok, have you burned it to a CD yet?
[02:02] <eroniusmaximus> not yet
[02:02] <LaserJock> what version did you download 6.06 or 6.10?
[02:03] <eroniusmaximus> 6.10
[02:03] <LaserJock> k
[02:03] <LaserJock> so do you know how to burn an .iso image?
[02:06] <eroniusmaximus> ya.
[02:07] <eroniusmaximus> i have to get my ass out of bed to go to the convie to get a CD tho,
[02:09] <LaserJock> ok
[02:09] <LaserJock> so right now XP is taking up the whole hard drive?
[02:14] <nixternal> hehe
[02:15] <eroniusmaximus> yeh
[02:16] <LaserJock> ok, well you'll want to make some room first
[02:16] <eroniusmaximus> do i just stick the linux CD in and it will repartition and install and do everything
[02:16] <LaserJock> well, it can
[02:16] <LaserJock> but it's safer to resize the XP partition from XP, in my opinion
[02:17] <LaserJock> I used Partition Magic to do it with my laptop
[02:17] <eroniusmaximus> ok
[02:18] <LaserJock> so you want to be very careful with partitions
[02:18] <eroniusmaximus> the drive is NTFS, is that ok
[02:18] <LaserJock> yep
[02:18] <eroniusmaximus> i repartition with Partition Magic and leave several Gigabytes unassigned, or?
[02:18] <LaserJock> yeah
[02:19] <LaserJock> how big is your hard drive?
[02:20] <eroniusmaximus> 25gb 25gb 2.5gb
[02:20] <eroniusmaximus> c d e
[02:21] <LaserJock> 1 hard drive with 3 partitions?
[02:22] <eroniusmaximus> i dunno, the laptop came like that
[02:22] <LaserJock> hmm, I'm guessing so, laptops generally don't have more than one hard drive I don't think
[02:22] <LaserJock> so do you have stuff on all 3?
[02:23] <eroniusmaximus> ya
[02:23] <LaserJock> can you move stuff to make one free?
[02:23] <eroniusmaximus> ill do it on D
[02:23] <eroniusmaximus> not empty,
[02:24] <eroniusmaximus> but D currently has 8GB free
[02:24] <LaserJock> k
[02:24] <LaserJock> I'd try something like Parition Magic then. That's a fairly complicated partitioning structure
[02:30] <eroniusmaximus> ok
[02:53] <eroniusmaximus> so, what does Edubuntu offer
[03:21] <cliebow> what doesnt it 8~)\
[03:21] <cliebow> wicked good support
[03:22] <cliebow> 8`)
[03:29] <eroniusmaximus> hehe
[03:29] <eroniusmaximus> i figured there isn' much reason why i shouldn't use linux instead of windows
[03:30] <cliebow> there are a lot of edu programs for windows i havgnt gotten runing on linux..lexia comes to mind...
[03:30] <cliebow> ticks me off
[03:32] <eroniusmaximus> Eh, does Partition Magic cost money? :S
[03:35] <eroniusmaximus> Eh, Does Edubuntu automatic update?
[03:41] <cliebow> yes..will more or less self update..very reliable as well
[03:43] <eroniusmaximus> Is it better than Windows Vista
[04:14] <cliebow> eroniusmaximus:No you are far better off with windows
[04:14] <cliebow> i know when i been had
[04:17] <eroniusmaximus> eh
[10:10] <highvoltage> elmo40: hey there, did you get an answer about the CPU and RAM?
[10:11] <highvoltage> ah, seems like you did
[10:12] <smile> huh
[10:37] <stgraber> morning
[12:17] <smile> Is Edubuntu just for schools?
[12:17] <smile> Should I install Ubuntu rather than Edubuntu?
[12:17] <jsgotangco> no not really
[12:18] <jsgotangco> if you want the educational apps you can install edubuntu
[12:18] <jsgotangco> but even if you are in ubuntu, you can install the education apps
[12:55] <eroniusmaximus> so installing ubuntu plus tools is the same as installing edubuntu
[01:05] <highvoltage> eroniusmaximus: basially, yes
[01:06] <highvoltage> eroniusmaximus: edubuntu is almost like a quick ubuntu setup for schools
[01:06] <highvoltage> eroniusmaximus: you can do all of it manuallyin ubuntu, but edubuntu is the turnkey solution
[01:29] <elmo40> highvoltage: i did get some answers. just not the ones i was looking for :-P
[01:30] <elmo40> what are the apps called that edubuntu uses so i can install them in a 'regular' ubuntu computer?
[01:51] <highvoltage> elmo40: the easiest way to get them all is to install the edubuntu-desktop package
[02:29] <rbs-tito> Hi
[02:31] <elmo40> highvoltage: that is good to know :)
[02:32] <elmo40> this package is available in the regular repo's?
[02:34] <rbs-tito> Does anyone know of someone I can talk to, I'm looking to write about Edubuntu for Linux+ DVD magazine and was hoping to get an interview from someone involved with the project.
[02:35] <elmo40> it has been dead in here for a while... i suggest leaving your contact info and someone will get back to ya.
[02:36] <rbs-tito> Leaving my contact information here?
[02:37] <rbs-tito> I'm Roberto Sarrionandia, you can reach me on irc.freenode.net as rbs-tito, or contact me through email rbs.tito@yahoo.co.uk
[02:38] <elmo40> someone will read this, inform the correct channels
[02:39] <highvoltage> elmo40: yes, it is
[02:39] <highvoltage> rbs-tito: you will most probably want to talk to Richard Weideman
[02:39] <elmo40> rbs-tito: what brought you to write about edubuntu?
[02:39] <highvoltage> rbs-tito: he is the education manager for Canonical: richard@ubuntu.com
[02:43] <rbs-tito> OK, I'll write an email. I am interested in Edubuntu and have been working with my local government to get it introduced into schools; I also write for a magazine and thought the publicity would do it good
[02:45] <elmo40> where is this 'local' gov't? ;) I am in Canada
[02:45] <rbs-tito> Pembrokeshire, Wales, the United Kingdom
[05:43] <cbx33> hey all
[05:43] <cbx33> ping ogra_
[05:46] <nixternal> hrmm, I need to edit a wiki page w.e.o/EdubuntuHandbook but it is locked, what gives :)
[05:46] <nixternal> hiya cbx33
[05:48] <nixternal> heh, how do you log into the Edubuntu wiki? am I that e.tarded that I don't see, or do you currently have it on lockdown
[05:48] <cbx33> nixternal hmm
[05:48] <cbx33> it shouldn't be
[05:48] <cbx33> lemme see
[05:49] <nixternal> every page says "Locked Page" for me
[05:49] <cbx33> are you logged in?
[05:49] <nixternal> I have no clue, I don't even see a login button
[05:49] <cbx33> hehe
[05:49] <nixternal> gahaha
[05:49] <nixternal> shush, i see it
[05:49] <cbx33> hehe
[05:49] <nixternal> MAKE IT BIGGER
[05:49] <cbx33> yeh i know
[05:49] <cbx33> that has been said many a time
[05:50] <nixternal> heh, I can't believe I studied that header for a good 2 minutes
[05:50] <cbx33> hehe :p
[05:50] <nixternal> the one bad thing about IRC, I can scroll up and erase my e.tardedness :)
[05:51] <cbx33> hehe
[05:51] <cbx33> it will be importalised for ever
[05:51] <cbx33> immortalised
[05:51] <cbx33> damn it
[05:51] <cbx33> now I'm stooopid too
[05:53] <nixternal> lol
[09:13] <nixternal> Alrighty, I have gone through and cleaned up the Handbook, added a little content, and straightened out the chapters.
[09:14] <nixternal> There are still quite a few sections needing someone to adopt them and rock and roll
[09:14] <nixternal> I also fixed the Makefiles to start building Edubuntu docs again. I need to fix the sidebar at doc.ubuntu.com to include Edubuntu docs. So far so good though
[09:15] <highvoltage> edubuntugirl: nixternal++
[09:16] <highvoltage> nixternal: do you have a link perhaps, or is it in subversion somewhere?
[09:20] <nixternal> subversion is on the Ubuntu Doc Project server now
[09:20] <nixternal> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DocumentationTeam/Repository
[09:22] <Burgundavia> hey highvoltage
[09:22] <Burgundavia> triaging compiz bugs is fun!
[09:24] <highvoltage> hey burgs
[09:29] <bronze> I thought triage was a special kind of foiliage....
[09:30] <highvoltage> only when bugs grow on trees
[09:32] <bronze> "tree-age"  pruning a corrupted B-tree.
[09:33] <Burgundavia> the really fun part of about compiz is the sheer number of non-standard packages
[09:34] <Burgundavia> thankfully the xgl craze has died away
[09:34] <Burgundavia> mostly I just have to deal with gandalfns packages now
[09:47] <nixternal> alrighty, release notes updated, doc.ubuntu.com sidebar updated, and working on creating the initial Edubuntu 7.04 doc package
[09:52] <pygi> edubuntugirl, tell ogra to poke me once he's around pls, thanks
[09:52] <edubuntugirl> Righto, pygi!
