|---|---|---|
| _marx_ | ping holstein ^ | 02:36 |
| _marx_ | hey ledzepp4eva | 02:37 |
| ledzepp4eva | hi | 02:37 |
| _marx_ | the user i pinged just now is in a'ville | 02:37 |
| ledzepp4eva | o ok... i'm kinda new and this would be my first group meeting, seeing as i dont know anyone, was wondering if i could get an idea of who to look for or where to go in the cafe | 02:38 |
| _marx_ | i dig it, holstein is a musician so he may be working now | 02:39 |
| _marx_ | i'm in winston and haven't been to a wnclug deal yet | 02:40 |
| _marx_ | it sounds like a pretty cool place | 02:41 |
| ledzepp4eva | ya i'm pretty excited | 02:42 |
| ledzepp4eva | i was looking around on the website for ways to get involved and i found the group. | 02:42 |
| _marx_ | oh great | 02:43 |
| * _marx_ used to live in h'ville | 02:43 | |
| _marx_ | just south of a'ville | 02:43 |
| _marx_ | how do you use ubuntu ledzepp4eva | 02:44 |
| ledzepp4eva | could you be a little more specific? | 02:44 |
| _marx_ | i've been dazed and confused for so long... | 02:44 |
| _marx_ | i'm a daily desktop user | 02:45 |
| ledzepp4eva | lol | 02:45 |
| ledzepp4eva | i've been using ubuntu since 7.10, exclusively since 10.04 came out | 02:45 |
| _marx_ | servers tend to be what ever | 02:45 |
| _marx_ | 7.10 nice | 02:46 |
| ledzepp4eva | got it to initially experiment and tinker. but as i started programming more i could no longer resist | 02:46 |
| _marx_ | so are you scared of the command line or completely comfortable | 02:46 |
| _marx_ | oh not scared of cli i'd guess | 02:47 |
| ledzepp4eva | i'm quite comfortable | 02:47 |
| _marx_ | same here | 02:47 |
| ledzepp4eva | how long have you been using? | 02:47 |
| _marx_ | since '98 | 02:48 |
| _marx_ | before ubuntu | 02:48 |
| _marx_ | 5.04 with ubuntu | 02:48 |
| _marx_ | debian unstable before that | 02:48 |
| ledzepp4eva | wow.. a real veteran | 02:48 |
| _marx_ | seemed stable to me in '01 and they're still talking about linux on the desktop | 02:49 |
| ledzepp4eva | there is still much to discuss | 02:50 |
| _marx_ | interoperability | 02:50 |
| _marx_ | quicken | 02:51 |
| _marx_ | file sharing is pretty seamless | 02:51 |
| ledzepp4eva | yeah. fortunately i was able to not get too tied in | 02:51 |
| _marx_ | really depends on what software one "must" have | 02:52 |
| _marx_ | games and quicken seem to be the biggest deal breakers | 02:53 |
| ledzepp4eva | quite true. games i think are the pinchpoint for people | 02:53 |
| _marx_ | some, i've never really been a gamer, computer gamer cards i like | 02:54 |
| _marx_ | flash games | 02:54 |
| _marx_ | my spousal unit must have her fix | 02:54 |
| ledzepp4eva | i enjoy gaming to a great extent. | 02:55 |
| ledzepp4eva | there are some games for linux but there are still a few things to be desired | 02:55 |
| _marx_ | i'd like to see the FPS type of game go to consoles, dedicated gaming units | 02:57 |
| _marx_ | i'm not a gamer so...my opinion is biased by not having participated | 02:59 |
| _marx_ | D&D back in the day | 02:59 |
| ledzepp4eva | are you aware of a way to batch install a folder full of *debs? | 03:00 |
| _marx_ | trustworthy *debs? | 03:00 |
| ledzepp4eva | nvm i got it... i'm installing libreoffice | 03:01 |
| ledzepp4eva | the install is just a bunch of deb installs | 03:01 |
| _marx_ | oh | 03:01 |
| _marx_ | see that, office type software, is something i rarely use | 03:03 |
| * _marx_ goes to get liberated yadtel usb drive, a nicotene fix and let the fat cat out | 03:05 | |
| _marx_ | skinny cat is asleep | 03:05 |
| ledzepp4eva | lol | 03:05 |
| _marx_ | fat cat is pestering the helloutame | 03:05 |
| ledzepp4eva | how fat? we have a pretty big cat | 03:06 |
| _marx_ | 13-14 lbs | 03:12 |
| _marx_ | miss massive macy is her current name | 03:12 |
| _marx_ | miss mad macy too | 03:13 |
| ledzepp4eva | haha... ours tips the scales at about 16 or 17 lbs | 03:13 |
| _marx_ | wow, that is a big one! | 03:14 |
