[02:36] <ghuru> hello?
[13:27] <maxolasersquad> Oooh, I like the Natty installer.  It asks you questions while it is partitioning the hd.
[13:31] <DammitJim> natty?
[13:37] <maxolasersquad> DammitJim: Natty Narwhal
[13:39] <maxolasersquad> aka Ubuntu 11.04
[13:39] <DammitJim> oh
[13:39] <DammitJim> LOL
[14:56] <mhall119> maxolasersquad: Maverick does that too
[14:56] <maxolasersquad> mhall119: Cool.
[15:11] <MichelleQ1> Morning, y'all.
[15:55] <maxolasersquad> Anyone see this? http://tech.fortune.cnn.com/2010/11/30/now-showing-comcast-previews-a-world-without-net-neutrality/
[16:18] <katyl> Thanks for the link, maxolasersquad, Just as I was debating switching to comcast.
[16:22] <maxolasersquad> There's a chance that this is Level3 playing politics.  It is probably prudent here to let some of the dust settle before taking sides.
[16:27] <zoopster> maxolasersquad: doubtful. This is Comcast trying to nickel and dime
[16:27] <zoopster> Comcast is as bad as verizon as it relates to greedy corporations
[16:28] <zoopster> if everyone would not stand for this corporate greed we could manage the corporations...
[16:28] <zoopster> for instance...your bank will raise your rates shortly if they haven't already...don't stand for it - they use your money for free
[16:29] <zoopster> just moved all of my accounts away from suntrust and wachovia
[16:30] <maxolasersquad> zoopster: I've stayed on DSL for a long time for the prime reason that I don't like Comcast.
[16:30] <maxolasersquad> And I've been keeping my money in a Credit Union for a long time now as well.
[16:30] <chattr> fwiw, next wikileaks dump is going to be about a large US bank, per Assange interview at forbes.com
[16:30] <zoopster> yea...I just moved back to the credit union full time
[16:31] <chattr> Comcast vs. Level 3 = two elephants fighting, and there's a saying about that
[16:33] <zoopster> comcast needs to be put in their place
[16:33] <zoopster> there are other options now
[16:34] <zoopster> time to kill the franchises and let the best one win...it won't be comcast if they keep bullying.
[16:44] <dorgan> what amount of memory should a server always have free?
[16:44] <mhall119> dorgan: free as in unused, or free as in available for use
[16:45] <dorgan> the free column when using free -m
[16:45] <mhall119> on the Mem: line, not much
[16:46] <mhall119> on the "-/+ buffers/cache" line there should be more
[18:13] <maxolasersquad> Never be bored again: http://www.linux.fm/
[19:43] <Catsceo[EEE]> anyone know why my eee keeps shutting off with no reason?  just goes off and reboots
[19:43] <Catsceo[EEE]> what logs do I need to check?
[19:45] <mhall119> try /var/log/(dmesg|kernel|syslog|message)
[19:46] <mhall119> but if it's hardware, chances are they won't show anything
[19:46] <mhall119> does it reboot by itself, or just shut down?
[19:49] <Catsceo[EEE]> shut ofgf
[19:49] <Catsceo[EEE]> off
[19:49] <Catsceo[EEE]> then restart
[19:49] <Catsceo[EEE]> as if I rebooted
[19:50] <mhall119> hmmm
[19:50] <mhall119> could be overheating
