[19:07] <PennBot> Title: Trial Subscription - Linux Magazine Online (at www.linuxpromagazine.com)
[19:26] <ChinnoDog> with automatic renewal...
[19:27] <ChinnoDog> 1 year for $100!
[19:30] <andrew> ouch
[19:32] <JonathanD> heh
[19:38] <rhpot1991> andrew: newegg has a better SSD today

[19:39] <PennBot> Title: Newegg.com - OCZ Vertex 2 OCZSSD2-2VTXE60G 2.5 60GB SATA II MLC Internal Solid State Drive SSD (at www.newegg.com)
[19:39] <andrew> What makes that one better?
[19:39] <JonathanD> it's smaller!
[19:39] <JonathanD> smaller is better.
[19:39] <rhpot1991> I think the kingston one was slower
[19:40] <JonathanD> probably is.
[19:40] <andrew> slightly
[19:40] <rhpot1991> how much was the kingston?
[19:40] <andrew> but it's over twice the size
[19:40] <andrew> 150 after MIR
[19:40] <rhpot1991> this one is cheaper
[19:40] <rhpot1991> 99 after rebate
[19:40] <andrew> 124 GB
[19:40] <rhpot1991> ssd for your os
[19:40] <andrew> I'm planning on stuffing it into my macbook
[19:40] <rhpot1991> then use cheap huge 2tb drives for other things
[19:40] <JonathanD> yeah, if I got one it'd be for my laptop
[19:41] <JonathanD> so I need one large drive :/
[19:41] <rhpot1991> andrew: ya you might want more then
[19:41] <JonathanD> currently have a 320 in here.
[19:41] <andrew> rhpot1991: more what?
[19:41] <rhpot1991> I think my xps's is 128gb, checking
[19:41] <rhpot1991> more space
[19:41] <rhpot1991> gparted says 119gb so that seems about right
[19:41] <andrew> rhpot1991: storage space? the macbook's drive is in same neighborhood in terms of size and i"ve never had a problem
[19:42] <rhpot1991> ubuntu + win7 is a tight fit on there
[19:42] <rhpot1991> andrew: ya, 60gb would be small is what I'm saying
[19:42] <JonathanD> I could probably ditch my games and go mostly-ubuntu-only on this laptop...
[19:42] <JonathanD> And then get it on a 128GB
[19:42] <JonathanD> But I'd miss my games :(
[19:42] <rhpot1991> I do ubuntu on mine, have win7 for starcraft (which takes up a good amount of space) and if I ever need to VPN from the road
[19:43] <JonathanD> I need windows for VPN and clear.
[19:43] <JonathanD> and also mechwarrior.
[19:43] <rhpot1991> I wish my work would stop making their VPN silly
[19:43] <JonathanD> and that game I play with Josh.
[19:43] <rhpot1991> requires IE for a toolbar, and it wont let you VPN from something with a RDP connection
[19:43] <rhpot1991> so I can't hit my VM remotely and then VPN
[19:44] <JonathanD> VNC to your VM>
[19:44] <rhpot1991> thought about it
[19:44] <rhpot1991> or VNC to the host and touch it there, sounds slow though
[19:44] <rhpot1991> I've only ever needed to do it once where I wasn't at the main PC, so dualbooting as a last fallback works ok
[19:45] <JonathanD> I'd like to see clear work on linux.
[19:45] <rhpot1991> JonathanD: why exactly doesn't it?
[19:45] <JonathanD> I'm reasonably happy with andlinux though.
[19:45] <JonathanD> rhpot1991: no drivers :)
[19:45] <rhpot1991> JonathanD: for the usb dongle I'
[19:45] <rhpot1991> m assuming?
[19:45] <JonathanD> They say they'll release something. Someday.
[19:45] <JonathanD> Yes.
[19:45] <JonathanD> the wired thing works fine, of course.
[19:48] <JonathanD> 175GB in use.
