| jbailey | lamont: Around? | 03:12 |
|---|---|---|
| lamont | am now | 03:15 |
| lamont | wow. and only 3 minutes of separation | 03:15 |
| jbailey | Well, I try. =) | 03:15 |
| jbailey | The ia64 box is finally back up and running - Is there any use in having Ubuntu on it? | 03:15 |
| jbailey | It's got Debian sid from about a year ago on it now. | 03:16 |
| lamont | well, if you wanted to burn an alternate dvd and test the install, that'd be _wonderful_... | 03:17 |
| * lamont has been busy | 03:17 | |
| jbailey | It's a remote box, so I can't do install testing. | 03:21 |
| lamont | ah, well then. | 03:22 |
| * lamont hasn't tested hardy at all, other than far enough to know that do-release-upgrade -d makes seemingly sane decisions about what to do going gusty->hardy | 03:23 | |
| jbailey | do-release-upgrade? | 03:25 |
| jbailey | Wassat? | 03:25 |
| lamont | iz ubuntu-speak for "do what it takes" | 03:25 |
| lamont | it does the magic of dapper->hardy, or gutsy->hardy, or $N->$N+1 | 03:25 |
| jbailey | Ah interesting. | 03:26 |
| jbailey | So apt-get dist-upgrade is officially the Wrong Thing now? | 03:26 |
| lamont | jbailey: since dapper->edgy, iirc | 03:31 |
| lamont | or was it breezy->dapper... | 03:31 |
| lamont | can't remember | 03:31 |
| lamont | update-manager is the gui versoin | 03:32 |
| lamont | do-release-upgrade is server-ish | 03:32 |
| jbailey | Weird. | 03:32 |
| jbailey | I also just use apt-get for everything. | 03:32 |
| jbailey | And I tend to assume that as long as I have the main meta packages installed that everything will be alright. | 03:33 |
| lamont | mostly | 03:38 |
| lamont | edgy or feisty is when evms went away, and if you didn't know to nuke it, (and had raid???) then there was no love.; | 03:39 |
| jbailey | Right. | 03:39 |
| jbailey | Why is volume management on Linux so doomed? | 03:39 |
| lamont | and then you booted from a livecd and fix0red it and rebuilt the initramfs and then there was love again | 03:39 |
| jbailey | I'm still pining after NetWare. | 03:39 |
| lamont | for more fun, gutsy or maybe feisty dropped raid support from the livecd -> more pain if y ou did taht | 03:39 |
| * lamont did that doo much | 03:39 | |
| jbailey | So far, that's the only OS that has gotten it right. | 03:39 |
| andrewks | alternate dvd for Hardy? | 05:39 |
| * andrewks is the hoster of said remote ia64 box | 05:40 | |
