[15:51]  * mr_steve starts school today, whee
[16:11] <h00k> mr_steve: boo!
[16:12] <mr_steve> heya h00k, how goes it?
[16:20] <mr_steve> I'm being made to use Windows for my online math class :(
[16:21] <h00k> ...why?
[16:21] <h00k> for what?
[16:21] <mr_steve> The online tests use an ActiveX plugin
[16:23] <h00k> fail. :(
[16:24] <mr_steve> Quite
[16:24] <h00k> virtual machine?
[16:24] <mr_steve> I'm thinking about it. My laptop's a little under-powered, but it could probably handle an XP VM
[16:25] <h00k> I have Windows run faster in a VM on this machine than natively :(
[16:25] <mr_steve> I've discovered the same thing, I've already got one XP VM on one of my servers, it runs my BBS
[16:27] <mr_steve> I'm fresh out of legit XP licenses I think, but meh
[19:18] <Snoopy> So lucid is more stable when doing a fresh install
[19:18] <h00k> probably
[19:19] <Snoopy> I tried the upgrade and it didn't load the login page as a GUI, it did it in like a terminal
[19:20] <Snoopy> But if anyone tries lucid, wait till Alpha 2 (jan 14)
[19:21] <Snoopy> It should be more stable
[19:24] <Snoopy> But with the way I depend on my computer so much, I need a bootable backup of my whole system
[19:39] <Snoopy> I suggest this: Don't test lucid until Alpha 2.... It is a waste of space and time installing Alpha 1 because of all of the bugs... I just found one
[20:04] <Snoopy> Anyone know what 10.10 is going to be codenamed?
[21:09] <zomGreg> mangy mutt?
[21:09] <zomGreg> mellifluous monarch?
[21:34] <tonyyarusso> We don't normally hear the codename announcement until about the beta release of the previous one.
