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