| holstein | im trying so save an XP install for a guy | 05:13 |
| holstein | hard drive died | 05:13 |
| holstein | and i dont really have time to work on it in the day | 05:13 |
| holstein | over the holidays | 05:14 |
| holstein | and i already suggested just getting a new computer | 05:14 |
| holstein | anyways, im chipping away at it | 05:14 |
| virtu | one moment... | 05:15 |
| virtu | VPN time | 05:15 |
| linguinii | I want to install ubuntustudio on my sister's laptop. I'm trying to decide between 10.04 and 10.10. Is it worth going with the LTS version? | 05:50 |
| linguinii | That is, are most things likely to work longer in the LTS version? Gah, this question seems sort of vacuous. I just don't have enough experience with ubuntu to know. | 05:51 |
| holstein | i would suggest 10.04 lts | 05:52 |
| holstein | normal ubuntu | 05:52 |
| holstein | vanilla | 05:52 |
| holstein | unless she has been using ubuntu or linux for a while | 05:52 |
| holstein | and is looking for a pro audio or video rig | 05:52 |
| holstein | otherwise | 05:52 |
| holstein | she and install whatever software she wants | 05:52 |
| holstein | that is in ubuntustudio | 05:52 |
| holstein | in the normal ubuntu | 05:53 |
| holstein | 10.10 is fine as well | 05:53 |
| holstein | either way | 05:53 |
| linguinii | She hasn't. Hmm. Thanks for the words of wisdom. She does photography, but isn't a pro graphics person. Maybe vanilla ubuntu would be better... | 05:53 |
| holstein | i just like the LTS's | 05:53 |
| holstein | linguinii: she can always install the gimp | 05:53 |
| holstein | or whatever | 05:53 |
| holstein | ubuntustudio is just a few metapackages really | 05:54 |
| holstein | and theme-ing | 05:54 |
| holstein | that is slick :) | 05:54 |
| holstein | BUT some things are different | 05:54 |
| holstein | that the average user | 05:54 |
| holstein | may not need | 05:54 |
| holstein | and may actually make it more difficult | 05:54 |
| holstein | for no good reason | 05:54 |
| holstein | linguinii: also | 05:55 |
| holstein | the vanilla versions are live | 05:55 |
| holstein | i would suggest running a live CD prior to install | 05:55 |
| holstein | regardless | 05:55 |
| holstein | just to see how all the hardware works | 05:55 |
| linguinii | holstein, Thanks; I'll try that. I have a 9.10 live CD, and it seemed to work. I might download 10.04 and install from there. Although I could probably upgrade from the 9.10 cd, couldn't I? | 05:56 |
| holstein | you can | 05:56 |
| holstein | i wouldnt though | 05:56 |
| holstein | that would take way longer | 05:56 |
| holstein | unless you have super slow download speed | 05:56 |
| holstein | and the fresh install is always preffered :) | 05:56 |
| holstein | linguinii: what are you running? | 05:58 |
| holstein | there is also something to be said for giving her exactly what you have | 05:59 |
| holstein | so you can help :) | 05:59 |
| linguinii | holstein, dell 1505e inspiron | 06:05 |
| linguinii | holstein, I'm running Ubuntu 10.04 LTS on a desktop. I _think_ it was upgraded from 9.10, but don't remember for sure. | 06:07 |
| holstein | cool | 06:07 |
| holstein | yeah, i think it would be worth DL'ing the 10.04 lts live CD | 06:08 |
| holstein | and make sure the wifi works | 06:08 |
| holstein | OR is easy to install | 06:08 |
| holstein | should be easy enough :) | 06:08 |
| linguinii | holstein, Thanks; you have changed my course. I'm now downloading the 10.04 cd. | 06:13 |
| holstein | :) | 06:37 |
| holstein | good luck to you both | 06:37 |
