[04:03] <mhall119> highvoltage: I've picked up your meme
[04:29] <mhall119> and so has someone else it seems
[07:02] <alkisg> Good morning
[07:38] <HedgeMage> hi, alkisg
[14:06] <bencrisford> highvoltage: http://jonathancarter.co.za/2010/04/24/then-and-now-meme/ loving the desktop :D
[14:18] <bencrisford> I mean the lucid btw ;)
[14:19] <bencrisford> although I do love old linux distros
[14:26] <highvoltage> mhall119: heh, yeah saw your post :)
[14:27] <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
[14:28] <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
[14:32] <bencrisford> ive experimented and learned alot since then though ;)
[14:34] <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
[14:37] <bencrisford> brb, rebooting into edubuntu
[16:02] <bencrisford> wow, wireless working on an old xubuntu install on a computer thats older than me
[16:45] <mhall119> what are you, 10?
[16:48] <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
[16:49] <mhall119> probably from the late 90's
[16:49] <bencrisford> cool
[16:50] <bencrisford> what make?
[16:52] <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*
[16:53] <bencrisford> thats like expecting Call of duty MW2 to run on a dreamcast
[16:57] <mhall119> bencrisford: it was an HP or Compaq
[17:02] <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
[17:03] <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
[17:04] <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
[17:12] <mhall119> I assume you're talking Celsius
[17:22] <bcrisford-xfce> mhall119: yeah
[17:23]  * bcrisford-xfce just deleted a partition (but the wrong one)
[17:23] <bcrisford-xfce> now I cannot boot on my main laptop
[17:24] <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
[17:27] <bcrisford-xfce> I do this several times daily on other computers, been a while since i've had to for my beloved lappy :(
[18:50] <Traveler9> can i find edubuntu with wubu
[18:50] <Traveler9> or wubi
[18:50] <Traveler9> to install inside windows
