[05:32] anybody up? [08:04] Mornin' all [15:08] well well did anyone hear about this linux distro called zorin? [15:08] yes [15:09] didn't know they were from ireland... [15:09] well based in ireland.. [15:10] dublin [15:10] yes [15:11] do you know them? [15:12] very well polished distro anyway... [15:12] very slick... [15:15] ooh [15:15] Might try it, it runs through ubuntu? [15:15] is that the one from those students? [15:16] maybe i heard about anouther one gnuSence that was developed by trinity collage students... [15:17] ebel: aye [15:17] its ubuntu with all the "questionable" content taken out... [15:17] hughbert: it was developed by one trinity college person and another member of ILUG [15:18] with regards to the 2 students, they basically take a copy of Ubuntu and skin it to look like windows or whatever [15:18] so not really a distro imo [15:18] ooo right... [15:18] well.. i don't know about that.. i suppose its a good looking theme so... [15:19] so basically brain wash folks into only using machines that look like windows... [15:19] they seem to have their own menu though witch is fairly impressive... [15:19] to get used to the opensource software... [15:20] i didn't like ubuntu straight away... [15:20] i used mint first and that was great for me.. it got me used to the command line and all the apps... [15:23] then i changed to ubuntu.. and i've been with it ever since... [15:27] yeah gnusense wasn't done by trinity students per se. :) [15:28] ya i think ye maybe right.. [15:28] :-) [15:28] i was talking to the ubuntu-au people this morning... [15:29] had a very long rant at the start... [15:29] hughbert: you do rant a lot! [15:30] ha ha i know i have a problem... :-( [15:31] I hug bash everyday [15:31] you hug bash everyday.. so you start the terminal and hug the moniter? [15:32] do you press F11 to make it full-screen? [15:34] Perhaps [15:35] ha ha.. ya i like to say good-night to my computer and give it a hug before bed... [15:35] Sometimes i use bum, but thats out of context [15:36] ha ha... [15:36] thats very funny.. [15:37] had a great chat with them about sony dropping linux on the ps3 and security stuff... [15:38] Isnt the PS3 recently hacked now [15:38] Where you can run any code signed or unsigned [15:38] ya its getting hacked to bits... [15:39] they really droped the ball on that thing... they pissed off the very people that they shouldn't have hackers and sciencists... [15:40] They're only getting Linux running, they're not working on anything else. [15:40] I dont know much else about ps3, only what i read in the news for 2 minutes! [15:41] I run ubuntu on my ps3... [15:41] did a few posts there on ubuntu fourms... [15:45] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=10288290#post10288290 [15:45] and this very interesting article on the US airforce being a bit ticked off about sony dropping linux...

[16:07] czajkowski: any advice on things we should be doing to improve our chances? [16:08] should we include the reapproval as an agenda item at IRC meetings? [16:08] 6 months will fly by... [16:09] airurando: the re approval page was created a long time ago by me [16:09] so ye just need to add content to it :) [16:12] right oh.
