stgraberhey everyone14:35
stgraberhighvoltage: how's edubuntu doing ? (just got back from family lunch + other stuff ;))14:35
highvoltagestgraber: I passed amd64 even though it's broken, with notes. it seems like that's what's happening for the amd64 desktop images14:41
stgraberhighvoltage: the webkit issue ?14:49
highvoltagestgraber: yep14:49
mhall119webkit :(14:49
* highvoltage gets out of meeting and catches up with *buntu16:10
mhall119highvoltage: stgraber: you guys seen http://www.phunland.com/wiki/Home ?16:43
mhall119I played with it for a few minutes, I can see it being very fun16:43
stgrabernice16:49
stgraberonly issue is that it seems closed source (couldn't find the actual license anywhere)16:50
mhall119oh is it?16:52
mhall119ah yeah, seems to be16:53
mhall119too bad16:53
stgraberlicense doesn't seem to allow redistribution either ... so the only hope to get it in Ubuntu would be with special agreement with Canonical and to have it in partner ... we can still link to it though16:55
highvoltagemhall119: I haven't used xfce in a while, how does memory usage compare to gnome these days? have you done any tests recently?19:59
alkisglxde ftw :)20:14
highvoltagealkisg: well, yes20:29
* Nubae is running xfce on debian, its nice21:19
=== ogra_ac_ is now known as ogra
mhall119highvoltage: I haven't done any actual benchmarks, but it it was noticably better than Gnome on 192MB Pentium 2 machines a couple years ago22:09
mhall119and I haven't noticed Gnome getting lighter or Xfce getting heavier22:09
mhall119AlanBell: Lxde is definitely lighter, but it's not as polished and well integrated22:10
highvoltagemhall119: yes, I ran tests a few years back and xfce was clearly better on LTSP at that stage22:11
highvoltagemhall119: but gnome has gotten a *lot* better since then and it would be nice to have a newer comparison22:12
Nubaenot ram wise though, there is a big difference22:15
Nubaegnome wont run on less than 256mb these days22:16
Nubaehighvoltage is there any interest in getting sugar running on ubuntu? most of the build utilities have moved to osb, not sure if that would be acceptable for ubuntu?22:18
highvoltagemhall119: found my old comparisons, but by now this is really ancient :) https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/edubuntu-devel/2005-September/000537.html22:24
highvoltageNubae: If there's interest I haven't really seen it22:24
Nubaeyah me neither, just that email by caroline meeks22:25
Nubaeshame22:25
highvoltagemhall119: so in 2005 a plain gnome session used more than 27MB per client when 27 users were logged in. with xfce it was less than 10MB. that's quite a significant difference :)22:27
