[04:44] <Takyoji> Actually there's been recent changes in Unity to work on systems without 3D acceleration.
[04:44] <Takyoji> Last I recall; within like 1-2 months ago
[04:54] <ripps> unity-2d or unity-qt has been around for well over a month. I just don't know if it's in the ubuntu repos yet. It might just be in a PPA for now.
[05:21] <Takyoji> I'll try installing 11.04 Alpha 3 in a moment
[05:21] <Takyoji> on my laptop
[06:01] <damian> I didn't get an answer last time: "So who else is thinking about moving away from gnome because of Unity and Gnome3?"
[07:16] <Takyoji> Hmm, apparently the installer in 11.04 Alpha gives you the option of: erase entire harddrive and install; or, manually configure each partition's type/mountpoint/format/etc
[07:18] <damian> BLARG?!?
[07:18] <damian> Silly people breaking stuff :D
[07:45] <Takyoji> otherwise Unity seems to work on my graphics acceleration-less laptop
[07:51] <damian> I just realized something, I'm planning on switching to Linux Mint at their next release... I wont be a legitimate LoCo member anymore D:
[18:07] <damian> Apparently I did get a reply when I initially asked about unity, problem was I didn't think to check the log
[19:44] <damian> I'm rather surprised that my Ubuntu partition is only using 9.4GB,~2.5GB is electricsheep videos and a decompressed linux kernel that I have yet to play with. (The majority of my other stuff like downloads is on another partition)
[19:47] <damian> I guess I could have put it at 20GB instead of hogging 40GB. That decision was probably influenced by how badly Windows utilizes space.
[20:34] <damian> I'm gonna test out SLAX and Mint, seeya later
[21:21] <tonyyarusso> Since when is there any overlap of users between SLAX and Mint?
