| bencrisford | I mean the lucid btw ;) | 14:18 |
| bencrisford | although I do love old linux distros | 14:19 |
| highvoltage | mhall119: heh, yeah saw your post :) | 14:26 |
| highvoltage | bencrisford: yeah I actually tried to install RH6 in a VM but it's so old it doesn't even want to boot up in virtualbox anymore | 14:27 |
| bencrisford | highvoltage: :o | 14:27 |
| highvoltage | bencrisford: got it running in qemu but X couldn't start so I just googled an old screenshot | 14:27 |
| bencrisford | highvoltage: cool, I haven't been using linux for that long :( so I don't really have anything to show | 14:28 |
| bencrisford | apart from Minix, I haven't used anything unix-based older than ubuntu intrepid | 14:28 |
| bencrisford | ive experimented and learned alot since then though ;) | 14:32 |
| bencrisford | actually, I think I started on edgy, but it wasn't on my main computer, I was just experimenting, I wasn't a "full" user until intrepid | 14:34 |
| bencrisford | brb, rebooting into edubuntu | 14:37 |
| === bencrisford is now known as bencrisford-edu | ||
| bencrisford | wow, wireless working on an old xubuntu install on a computer thats older than me | 16:02 |
| === bencrisford is now known as ben-xubuntu | ||
| === ben-xubuntu is now known as bcrisford-xfce | ||
| mhall119 | what are you, 10? | 16:45 |
| bencrisford | mhall119: lol no :P, v.old computer | 16:48 |
| bencrisford | probably isnt older than me | 16:48 |
| bencrisford | just a figure of speech ;) | 16:48 |
| mhall119 | I got Xubuntu running on a P2, 400MHz once | 16:48 |
| mhall119 | probably from the late 90's | 16:49 |
| bencrisford | cool | 16:49 |
| bencrisford | what make? | 16:50 |
| bencrisford | hell, according to the dell website its no-where near as old as me :( | 16:52 |
| bencrisford | but 9 years, and xubuntu karmic, I think thats quite impressive | 16:52 |
| bencrisford | 11 years* | 16:52 |
| bencrisford | thats like expecting Call of duty MW2 to run on a dreamcast | 16:53 |
| mhall119 | bencrisford: it was an HP or Compaq | 16:57 |
| bencrisford | mhall119: oh ok, because thats basically the specs of mine | 17:02 |
| bencrisford | mines a Dell GX1-something | 17:02 |
| mhall119 | wow, old | 17:02 |
| bencrisford | first released 1999 according to dell's website | 17:02 |
| mhall119 | really though, as long as it's got enough RAM, it'll likely run | 17:02 |
| mhall119 | just sloooooow | 17:03 |
| bencrisford | http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/systems/ban_gx1/ | 17:03 |
| bencrisford | it runs quick compared to my | 17:03 |
| bencrisford | compared to my laptop that runs edubuntu lucid | 17:03 |
| bencrisford | but thats about the same spec and REALLY messed up | 17:03 |
| bencrisford | the core temperature got to 80 degrees one time, I got a warning and it just shut down | 17:04 |
| bencrisford | since then its just been mentally slow | 17:04 |
| mhall119 | I assume you're talking Celsius | 17:12 |
| bcrisford-xfce | mhall119: yeah | 17:22 |
| * bcrisford-xfce just deleted a partition (but the wrong one) | 17:23 | |
| bcrisford-xfce | now I cannot boot on my main laptop | 17:23 |
| mhall119 | oops | 17:24 |
| bcrisford-xfce | nevermind, i'm tar-ing my docs from a live-cd | 17:24 |
| bcrisford-xfce | ill burn them to a dvd or two and start again | 17:24 |
| bcrisford-xfce | I need to upgrade anyway, I haven't done for a week or so | 17:24 |
| bcrisford-xfce | might go to edubuntu full time... dunno yet | 17:24 |
| bcrisford-xfce | I do this several times daily on other computers, been a while since i've had to for my beloved lappy :( | 17:27 |
