[01:15] my first linux was mandrake 7.0 [01:15] 5.10 was ok but flaky to me [01:15] linuxman410: I think I had used 4.10, my first install was 5.04 [01:16] i still have 5.10 cd from ubuntu you want one [01:16] took alot of changelog reviews and such, had a hard time figuring that out [01:17] i bought 10 of them at a thrift store sentimental value [01:17] naw, lucid and maverick suits me fine [01:17] nope im goooooooood lol [01:17] tried natty out thought it was no good i hope it gets better [01:18] nattys not looking so good [01:18] what are you guys up to/ [01:20] Debian Sid >:-) [01:20] ??? [01:20] lol [01:20] i am just now getting fedora back on my laptop it is updating now if natty does not get better will have to change to something else [01:20] that's my current meddling atm [01:20] smh [01:20] aka Debian Unstable [01:21] i have debian 6 on my desktop [01:21] that and configuring another opennic server or two [01:22] opennic huh i think i know what that does but could you still tell me lol [01:22] Opennic is an alternate DNS service [01:22] i am running crunchbang 10 on a 500mhz laptop with 128 ram and it flies [01:22] I currently host a public server (tier 2) [01:23] crunchbang? and wow a public server cool [01:23] cyberanger what is on your server [01:23] crunchbang is pure awesomeness [01:23] I use bind9 for it [01:23] im trying to start a social network myself [01:23] yes, crunchbang is awesome [01:24] what is crunchbang? a desktop enviorment? [01:24] linuxman410: bind9 for dns, apache2 for an httpd server, squid as a cacheing proxy [01:24] crunchbang has very low hardware requirments and runs great [01:25] cool cyberanger [01:25] oh openbox huh looks good [01:25] http://crunchbanglinux.org/ [01:25] crunchbang is a remix using openbox [01:25] it uses debian now right? [01:25] hello chris4585 and thanks [01:25] yeah 10 uses debian 6 [01:25] eh, the starlter alpha does [01:26] it is not alpha no more [01:26] and they dropped the older ones finaly [01:26] and they dropped the older ones finally [01:26] linuxman410: yeah, just saw that, cool [01:26] personally that doesn't appeal to me, I'd rather have ubuntu base but meh, I'd rather just set it up how I want it [01:26] and I don't run much on apache atm, just a pac file really [01:26] I need to build it out more [01:27] esp. http://www.zachgibbens.geek [01:27] no point having an opennic doman be that bland [01:27] .geek? lol [01:29] why does zach gibbens sound familiar? [01:29] it does not have nothing says domain not found when i type it in [01:29] chris4585: ahem [01:30] <-- [01:30] ah thats why [01:30] well I have another friend with a similar name I think [01:30] linuxman410: opennic domain [01:31] linuxman410: http://www.opennicproject.org/ [01:34] I need to get my ICANN domain going too [01:35] i got one chestpaint.com but nothings on it [01:35] still waiting on diaspora [01:36] linuxman410: why, I've ran it fine [01:36] and so have others [01:38] be back have to restart [01:39] hey cyberanger im trying to do a socail network any suggestions? [01:43] create one? [01:43] lol [01:43] http://www.chestpaint.com [01:45] new version of peppermint out today [01:47] i went into peppermint os irc channel for support and no one in there uses it i mean wow [01:48] most of them use linuxmint or ubuntu [01:48] linuxman410, whats so surprising about that? [01:49] i just figured if you are going to support why not use it [01:50] does not say a whole lot for the os if the support team does not use it [01:53] debian and redhat started it all almost every distro is based on one of them [01:55] almost, heh, like slackware, arch? [01:55] i said almost not all [01:56] and what if the disto is better than the souce ;-) [01:57] fedora, like redhat, just suck less [01:57] centos, like redhat, just free and open source [01:57] just means it improves as it spreads [01:58] at what point though do you have to change to not be based off of it though [01:59] cyberanger, I'd say if you create a new package format is the only real requirement [02:00] just my opinion [02:28] woow i missed a lot lol [02:28] but its a great live cd distro [03:56] * wrst really needs to get battery backup === mhall119_ is now known as mhall119 [17:12] I need to prep a drive for resale, it's had some personal info on it, you guys have any suggestions for something free that'll overwrite it a few times? [17:12] dban [17:12] dban ftw [17:13] See, I knew you guys wouldn't let me down :_D [17:13] http://www.dban.org/ [17:14] also, there's wipe http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/15037/use-an-ubuntu-live-cd-to-securely-wipe-your-pcs-hard-drive/ [17:18] (If I didn't allways have a boot disc with dban on it, I'd still have an ubuntu live disc on me and hopefully a data connection, but since I keep them both nearby, I can choose) [17:22] Svpernova09: plenty of options, but dban is probally the simplest [17:23] Coo, running dban on it now. Thanks [17:25] personally, for secure deletion, I'm a fan of a thermite charge, but that might just be due to the pyrotechnics, a lot more visual effects ;-) [17:25] lol [17:25] Boss's Daughter's laptop, they're gonna ebay it when I'm done. [18:44] hrm weird, I ticked the 3d support for virtualbox but doesn't seem to be working... [18:44] chris4585: you need to reinstall the guest additions after ticking 3d support [18:44] again, make sure you have vbox 4.0 [18:45] ah [18:45] yeah I have 4.0 [18:51] pace_t_zulu, any idea how to show the menu bar? I somehow hid it... [18:56] nvm I got it [19:15] chris4585: so you have unity running in vbox? [19:17] yep [19:17] no updates yet though, have to wait until 2am [19:19] don't you just love hughesnet so much you wanna take it outside with a tall sturdy tree and sturdy rope [19:20] yes! [19:20] I think we need a new dish actually... [19:20] or something, lately it just seems to be getting worse [19:22] chris4585: that's not a bad idea, what's your modem? hn7000s ? [19:24] hn9000 [19:24] at the time I think it was the new one [19:25] that sucks [19:28] that means it's a Ka band system, spotbeam technology [19:28] and as such, all issues must go through hughesnet [19:30] whearas the older Ku band gear, or gear that can do both, like the HN7000s [19:30] can be maintained by the customer (despite discourgement from hughesnet) [19:31] around here they'll try and give you a .74 meter dish, when it'd be better for some to use a .98 meter or bigger dish [19:32] ah [19:33] more tolerable with bad weather [19:33] can really hold onto a signal too [19:34] (the same applies to the system you have, but you can't sidestep hughesnet easily on the matter) [19:37] that's why I like my system (of course I like it sitting in storage even more, celluar dsl and cable oh my) [19:40] oh how I'm glad the worst of that is behind me [19:41] hopefully this march? we might be able to work something out with the cable company down here [19:45] what's the current issue [19:45] and would celluar work in the mean time [19:55] I'm glad for alot of the tricks I learned for celluar and satellite [19:56] really works out nicely [19:58] main one is running a squid proxy that all machines on the local network use [19:59] and with enough machines using ubuntu and current storage prices, run a local mirror [20:00] but that's the main two [20:03] new indicator showed up in ubuntu today http://i54.tinypic.com/2eamh6t.png [20:06] http://www.techdrivein.com/2011/01/evolution-of-ubuntu-over-years-brief.html# [20:06] ^ evolution of ubuntu [20:50] pace_t_zulu, thats cool [20:50] indicators <3 [21:09] pace_t_zulu: you going to be at the meeting? today I will [21:09] cyberanger: i plan to [21:10] cyberanger: i've been doing my best to always be there [21:10] cyberanger: anything to put on the agenda? [21:10] all unforseen events better be becuase my place is on fire or flodded today [21:10] cyberanger: that didn't make much sense to me [21:12] the past two or three meetings I've missed due to some unforseen event that wan't worth the troublee [21:12] so it's just me venting [21:13] as for the adgenda, plan some meetings for the new year, maybe an installfest [21:14] there isn't much on my mind [21:15] I' going to chattacon on behalf of the loco again [21:15] computer gaming is xubuntu rigs, I plan on testing my install fest setup on updating them [21:17] gotta update our application and add us to the adgenda this month [21:18] I requested time off that day, but I'd like some of the other leaders there too [21:19] that's all I'm aware of [21:19] anything else we need to add? [21:20] pace_t_zulu: [21:20] cyberanger: sorry i missed all that [21:21] oh, was just metioning what I'm aware of [21:21] anything you've got to add? [22:01] cyberanger I may or may not be there tonight prob be travelling back from a funeral during the meeting [22:08] wrst: my condolences [22:08] err, send them my condolences [22:08] * cyberanger is getting a little tired here, long day [22:10] any loss like that is hard to deal with [22:17] thanks cyberanger [23:40] cyberanger: i just remembered i might not make the meeting [23:40] cyberanger: going out to dinner - birthday dinner [23:40] cyberanger: unlikely to be home in time [23:56] oh, well...Happy Birthday then
