[19:27] <Nivex> ><
[19:27] <Nivex> I upgraded my old laptop from 10.04 to 10.10 and now I don't have any 3D again
[19:27] <Nivex> Intel chips are supposed to be the most open, and yet they seem to have the most regression issues
[19:28] <holstein> maybe you should just go on to 11.04 ;)
[19:29] <Nivex> maybe once they hit beta I'll throw a LiveCD at it and see what it does
[19:29] <holstein> i finally got around to testing my studio gear in 10.10
[19:29] <Nivex> In the meantime I'm tempted to wipe/reinstall this thing as 10.04
[19:29] <holstein> that aint happenin' either
[19:29] <Nivex> I only have one other machine on 10.10 here and that's a test box
[19:41] <semioticrobotic> anyone have experience with intel SSDs in Ubuntu?
[19:41] <holstein> not yet
[19:41] <semioticrobotic> ah, okay
[19:41] <holstein> i have an SSD in my EEEpc
[19:42] <holstein> i use ext2 without swap usually
[19:42] <holstein> its not a high dollar SSD though
[19:42] <semioticrobotic> two of my former EEEs had SSds
[19:42] <semioticrobotic> right, right
[19:42] <holstein> so im not to worried
[19:42] <semioticrobotic> yeah, makes sense
[19:42] <semioticrobotic> I'm thinking of upgrading to an Intel 40GB SSD after the new year
[19:43] <semioticrobotic> just wondering if anyone recommends against it, has had issues with 10.04, etc
[19:43] <holstein> i guess it depends
[19:44] <holstein> i think its still a little early
[19:44] <holstein> price wise
[19:44] <semioticrobotic> yeah, you may be right
[19:44] <holstein> and id really like to see btrfs get stable
[19:44] <semioticrobotic> the drive is $110 on Amazon
[19:44] <holstein> hmmm
[19:44] <holstein> thats not ba
[19:44] <holstein> d
[19:44] <semioticrobotic> $108 and change, to be exact
[19:44] <holstein> still, that'll get you a 2tb sata now
[19:44] <holstein> not for a lappy
[19:45] <semioticrobotic> now, that's the X25-V, so you lose some performance, but still an improvement over my 5400RPM spinning drive
[19:45] <semioticrobotic> yes, but I'm not necessarily interested in the copious amounts of space
[19:45] <holstein> i think i want that first
[19:45] <semioticrobotic> I keep very little on my machine; most is stored on exteral drives
[19:45] <holstein> nice chunk of storage somewhere in the house
[19:46] <semioticrobotic> ha!  you might rival that data ceter Apple is building 'round these parts
[19:47] <holstein> ;)
[19:48] <semioticrobotic> well, we'll see what happens.  i'll continue to think it over.
