| protonchris | n0wje: Happy new year to you. | 16:32 |
| mneptok | Chappy New Jeer! | 16:32 |
| n0wje | Well I tried to install Ubuntu on my New Dell Inspiron M5030 and because of acpi it failed. I even turned it off and Ubuntu did't detect my wifi . | 16:41 |
| n0wje | I had to resort to Fedora 14 64 bit | 16:41 |
| n0wje | the install went very well I might add. The only thing that scares me it the ATI driver. Sould I attempt!!!! | 16:43 |
| n0wje | sorry can't type today, | 16:43 |
| protonchris | I don't have any experience with ATI drivers. I usually stick with nvidia. | 16:44 |
| n0wje | Well the Dell has a ATI and what do you say to the Wife, Take it back. Nooooo! | 16:46 |
| n0wje | I like to live! | 16:46 |
| protonchris | Hehe | 16:47 |
| n0wje | Well How has the irc meetings on Tuesday's going? | 16:48 |
| protonchris | We are only meeting once a month and the turnout has been very low. | 16:53 |
| n0wje | Oh I work at night so I can't attend. | 16:54 |
| n0wje | Man Fedora 14 is fast on this laptop. | 16:55 |
| mneptok | n0wje: are you dual-booting it? | 16:57 |
| n0wje | nope wipe window 7 and did clean install. | 16:58 |
| n0wje | got to refill coffee cup brb. | 17:00 |
| mneptok | why pay Microsoft's Windows tax if you never plan to use it? you're just feeding the competition. :/ | 17:00 |
| n0wje | My wife wife bought me this laptop for Christmas and I did't know. | 17:02 |
| mneptok | ah. | 17:02 |
| n0wje | She is not savy to things of the computer. | 17:02 |
| mneptok | System76 or Zareason would gladly help you spend the money Dell refunds you. | 17:02 |
| n0wje | But she is learning. yeah but it's done and it works, | 17:03 |
| mneptok | be aware, if *anything* goes wrong with that computer Dell is going to refuse to service it until the software that shipped on it is restored. | 17:03 |
| n0wje | yes I know. | 17:03 |
| mneptok | good luck. glad you got it working. | 17:04 |
| n0wje | I made backup copies of HD and if something does go wrong I can reinstall Windows 7. | 17:06 |
| n0wje | It's cold today. have the wood stove going. | 17:09 |
| mneptok | it was chilly this morning, but warming now. but we're still in Montreal mode, where "cold" is defined differently. | 17:23 |
| mneptok | those single digits are most familiar, and even more unwelcome. | 17:24 |
