[02:39] <holstein> :/
[02:40] <holstein> i still cant do KDE
[02:40] <vinny> what do you mean?
[02:40] <holstein> cant use it
[02:40] <holstein> dont like it
[02:40] <holstein> theres a great audio distro
[02:41] <holstein> KXstudio
[02:41] <holstein> i use the PPA
[02:41] <holstein> really cool guy cranking out some great packages for ubuntu
[02:41] <holstein> id like to use it, but i cant get into KDE
[02:41] <holstein> i used to use it
[02:41] <vinny> Hummm never herd of it
[02:41] <holstein> back at 3.something
[02:42] <holstein> mepis with KDE
[02:42] <holstein> then i got antiX running
[02:42] <holstein> fluxbox on mepis
[02:42] <holstein> since then, i just got really comfortable with gnome
[02:42] <holstein> and dont like change ;)
[02:42] <holstein> KDE looks slick though
[02:42] <holstein> i want to like it
[02:42] <holstein> its just laziness
[02:43] <holstein> i cant find what im looking for
[02:43] <holstein> and i just log out and back into gnome
[02:43] <vinny> it works well for me .....but I like Gnome 2 :)
[02:44] <holstein> im not sure if i like gnome really
[02:44] <holstein> i just know it
[02:44] <vinny> and fluxbox and xfce4 and ldxe ....depending on the hardware
[02:44] <vinny> KDE works well hear
[02:45] <holstein> OH, is that not what you run?
[02:45] <vinny> O yes KDE is what I usualey run
[02:46] <vinny> but I can load flux or some others
[02:46] <vinny> I even like XBMC
[02:53] <holstein> i need to look at that again
[02:53] <holstein> xbmc
[02:56] <vinny> it prity cool as a media player
[02:56] <holstein> i set one up recently
[02:56] <holstein> not really using it yet
[02:57] <holstein> BUT i ended up going with gnome ;)
[02:57] <vinny> O well XBMC will run in eney window manager
[02:57] <vinny> display manager
[02:58] <holstein> i run something like that
[02:58] <holstein> boxee i think?
[02:58] <holstein> something that takes over like XBMC does
[02:58] <holstein> its not working out though
[02:58] <holstein> doesnt get a good spouse approval rating
[03:00] <vinny> XBMC will run as a window/program or is bootable/loginable
[03:01] <holstein> ive never used it bootable
[03:01] <holstein> maybe in a distro live
[03:01] <vinny> me eather :)         just as a login or a program/player
[03:03] <vinny> as a login it uses varey little resorses though and is varey visual :)
[03:04] <vinny> IE: cool efects
[03:09] <vinny> Humm just looking at KXstudio.......looks neet
[03:10] <holstein> yeah its really amazing
[03:10] <holstein> VERY nice looking
[03:10] <holstein> but the work the guy does
[03:10] <holstein> custom packages and extras
[03:10] <holstein> quite nice
[03:10] <vinny> mite throw it in the spar HD and give it a spinn
[03:11] <vinny> you use it a loght?
[03:11] <vinny> lot
[03:11] <holstein> we are absorbing some of it with ubuntustudio
[03:11] <holstein> vinny: i only test it really
[03:11] <holstein> BUT i use the PPA
[03:11] <holstein> with normal ubuntustudio
[03:11] <holstein> so i get access to the packages
[03:12] <vinny> O the we are absorbing some of it with ubuntustudio uses it?
[03:12] <vinny> OOPS
[03:12] <vinny> ubuntustudio uses it?
[03:12] <holstein> the pulse to jack packages
[03:12] <holstein> and i bet some of the ideas in general
[03:13] <holstein> JACK starting at boot
[03:13] <holstein> that is being discussed
[03:13] <vinny> AA I see
[03:13] <holstein> i used to use it
[03:13] <holstein> for a while
[03:13] <holstein> http://kxstudio.sourceforge.net/index.php?option=com_content&view=category&layout=blog&id=15&Itemid=11

[03:17] <holstein> the silver one up there is the mediacenter box i used
[03:17] <holstein> a P4 with a gig of ram
[03:17] <holstein> i got a nice dual core 64bit machine for recovering some data for a guy
[03:17] <holstein> that has been my main studio rig for a few months now
[03:17] <holstein> emachines
[03:18] <holstein> nice quiet case

[03:19] <vinny> full KDM 3D cube and all :)
[03:20] <holstein> i was totally cool with the p4
[03:20] <holstein> but im enjoying having a 64bit install of ubuntustudio
[03:20] <holstein> and its noticably peppier
[03:20] <holstein> i need to get some ram
[03:20] <holstein> its only got 3gb
[03:20] <holstein> and thats not ideal
[03:20] <holstein> with the 64bit install
[03:21] <vinny> naw you want at least 8 :)
