[05:09] <virtu> hi... 03.09am here and I am still working
[05:09] <holstein> hey virtu
[05:11] <virtu> hi holstein, how r u?
[05:12] <holstein> not bad
[05:12] <virtu> I am tired
[05:12] <holstein> having some family time
[05:12] <holstein> thanksgiving and all that
[05:12] <virtu> nice holstein  =)
[05:12] <holstein> good time :)
[05:13] <holstein> just recovering from a massive dinner
[05:13] <virtu> so... this friday time to spend some money =D
[05:13] <holstein> getting ready for the next one
[05:13] <virtu> wow =D
[05:13] <holstein> tomorrow
[05:13] <virtu> go get a walk =)
[05:13] <holstein> hehe
[05:13] <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
[05:14] <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
[05:15] <virtu> one moment...
[05:15] <virtu> VPN time
[05:50] <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?
[05:51] <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.
[05:52] <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
[05:53] <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
[05:54] <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
[05:55] <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
[05:56] <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 :)
[05:58] <holstein> linguinii: what are you running?
[05:59] <holstein> there is also something to be said for giving her exactly what you have
[05:59] <holstein> so you can help :)
[06:05] <linguinii> holstein, dell 1505e inspiron
[06:07] <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
[06:08] <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 :)
[06:13] <linguinii> holstein, Thanks; you have changed my course.  I'm now downloading the 10.04 cd.
[06:37] <holstein> :)
[06:37] <holstein> good luck to you both
