[03:10] <Unit193> You can't just take out a HD from one comp and put it in another can you? (and still have Ubuntu working mostly fine)
[03:10] <Cheri703> ubuntu yes, windows, no
[03:11]  * Cheri703 does it fairly often
[03:11] <Unit193> Sweet! Do I have to do any post/pre changes?
[03:11] <Cheri703> uhm, not really? if for some reason it's unhappy, you can put it back in and do the changes
[03:11] <Unit193> Ok, thanks muchly!
[03:31] <canthus13> Unit193: Yes.
[03:31] <canthus13> Unit193: You will likely have to change some nic settings, but other than that you'll be fine.
[03:31] <canthus13> Unit193: For whatever reason, whenever you switch machines it increments the NIC by one.. so eth0 becomes eth1, etc.
[03:33] <Unit193> canthus13: wlan0 becomes wlan1 (I don't have a NIC in that comp)
[03:33] <Unit193> ^ ?
[03:33] <canthus13> Unit193: ifconfig -A should list the interfaces.
[03:33] <canthus13> err. -a
[03:34] <Unit193> Just saying that same thing for wireless...
[03:34] <canthus13> If you're going from one brand of video chipset to another, you may also run into some weirdness.
[03:34] <canthus13> I dunno. I would imagine it's the same. the only drive migration I've done has been on my servers.
[03:35] <Unit193> Celeron to P4...
[03:35] <canthus13> Processor is no big deal.
[03:35] <canthus13> But if you go from nvidia to ATi, you may have a little trouble with screen resolution.
[03:36] <Unit193> I don't even know what either has...
[03:36] <canthus13> Everything else should be fine.
[03:36] <canthus13> Although, with laptops, you never know. there may be some oddball proprietary hardware involved.
[03:36] <Unit193> Both are desktops
[03:37] <Unit193> One is HP the other is Dell...
[03:37] <canthus13> Heh. the 2 brands that seem to do the best with linux. :)
[03:38] <canthus13> Wireless chipset could be an issue.
[03:38] <Unit193> Both are rather old...
[03:38] <Unit193> RT73...
[03:38] <canthus13> Dunno about that one.
[03:39] <canthus13> but the worst that can happen is it won't work and you have to put the drive back. It's not like windows where everything breaks.
[03:41] <Unit193> Never done it in windows (I have virtualized one before, no issues there)
[03:42] <canthus13> Unit193: Heh. Don't bother. when you pop the drive into another machine, it freaks out, finds all new hardware, and sometimes refuses to even get far enough to find the new hardware...
[03:42] <Unit193> The worst that can happen is that the Dell computer won't work...
[03:43] <canthus13> it's a dell. as long as the hardware is good, it should work.
[03:43] <Unit193> I just FINALLY fixed one windows network issue... took way too long..
[03:43] <Unit193> Not all that sure about the h/w
[03:43] <canthus13> Ah.
[03:53] <Unit193> Take a look at the timestamp:https://www.apnic.net/publications/news/2011/delegation
[04:02] <canthus13> Yep. it's February 1st in asia. makes sense.
[04:04] <Unit193> I still think it's kinda funny... IPv6 is needed, but I don't like it...
[05:29] <Cheri703> ha ha suckahs! I don't have to scrape ice off of a windshield in the morning! I don't think I've ever been so ok with freezing rain :)
[05:41] <Unit193> I was just out in it... it's crazy!
[05:42] <Cheri703> yeah, I'm thinking of getting out the umbrella, putting on my yak-trax and going for a walk :)
[05:43] <Unit193> Boots and umbrella would have been good...
[05:43] <Cheri703> yak-trax let you walk on ice without slipping
[05:44] <Cheri703> they're AWESOME
[14:29] <dmcglone> Hi everyone
[14:30] <dmcglone> Somehow I am having a problem with my keyboard. every time I type the audio b
[14:30] <dmcglone> mutes
[14:45] <canthus13> Hmm. Neat interrupt issue.
