[15:26] <ChinnoDog> morning, all
[15:28] <ssweeny> morning ChinnoDog
[16:03] <ChinnoDog> I found a shortcoming in KVM last night. It seems to only provide int13 extensions for the first disk.  That crippled by multi boot scenareo.
[16:38] <ChinnoDog> ssweeny: Are the sides on that tower system just holding it together or are they passive backplanes as well?
[16:48] <ssweeny> ChinnoDog: one is a backplane
[16:48] <ssweeny> the other is structural
[16:49] <ChinnoDog> Too bad you can't get those for ATX boards, even if they were both structural. I imagine ATX is too big and would break.
[16:53] <ssweeny> i don't see why you couldn't do it
[16:53] <ssweeny> just seems like there isn't much use for it at that size
[16:53] <ssweeny> plus does atx allow for the edge connector you would need?
[16:54] <ChinnoDog> No, but there are standard hole placements on the board that could be used to place supports.
[16:55] <ChinnoDog> The use is that you could create a "rack" that doesn't use rails or rack cases.
[16:57] <ssweeny> that doesn't seem wise
[16:58] <ssweeny> you need a place for power supplies, etc
[17:02] <ChinnoDog> I know. What a pain. If only ATX had an edge connector for power
[17:03] <ssweeny> we need a new motherboard standards
[18:48] <ChinnoDog> http://www.pathname.com/fhs/pub/fhs-2.3.html#VARCACHEAPPLICATIONCACHEDATA
[18:48] <PennBot> Title: Filesystem Hierarchy Standard (at www.pathname.com)
[18:49] <ChinnoDog> That is very confusing. How can /var/cache both be deletable and be expected to survive reboots?
[18:50] <ssweeny> it should be deletable on a schedule determined on a per-application basis
[18:51] <ssweeny> so it's not totally volatile but you might want like a week's worth of logs in there
[18:51] <ssweeny> at the same time if those logs were lost you can go on living
[18:56] <ChinnoDog> If I could go on living without them then why can't I loose them between reboots?
[18:58] <ChinnoDog> s/loose/lose
[18:58] <ChinnoDog> (thought I should correct myself before pleia2 corrected me)
[19:40] <MutantTurkey> so there is a guy using linux like twenty feet away
[19:40] <MutantTurkey> talking about torrenting
[19:40] <MutantTurkey> :| when i walked in i interjected in the conversation
[19:40] <MutantTurkey> about ubuntu
[19:41] <MutantTurkey> who he appears to know little about ._.
[19:41] <MutantTurkey> sigh.
[19:47] <EvilPhoenix> lol
[19:48] <MutantTurkey> should i go talk to this dude?
[19:56] <ChinnoDog> So, did you talk to him?
[19:58] <MutantTurkey> no
[19:58] <MutantTurkey> when i walked in i did
[19:59] <MutantTurkey> maybe when i walk out
