netritiouscyberanger: you should look at the specs at Sun's (now Oracle's) web site...it's more akin to a blade server with hot swap blades and storage, dynamic hardware allocation, etc01:21
netritiousand Solaris, which has always been extremely pricey01:21

chibihogoshinothere is enough radiation at the fukushima plant to kill people03:37
robertzaccourfor me Ubuntu works best right now03:38
robertzaccourWindows 7 is good but doesn't really have anything to offer me03:38
robertzaccouryou tried ubuntu natty yet?03:42
chris4585robertzaccour, I have and so far I'm liking it besides dash in unity03:43
robertzaccourwhats dash?03:43
chris4585its the menu that pops up when you click on the ubuntu icon03:44
cyberangerrobertzaccour: there is an approval process, sparing you of the details of that process, we are close to nailing our requirements03:44
cyberangertechnically we may already have, just being a little through before we apply03:45
cyberangerand also, there is a cookeville linux users group03:45
robertzaccouroh i see03:46
cyberanger#cooklug03:46
robertzaccourreally? where?03:46
robertzaccouroh ok cool03:46
chris4585robertzaccour, http://www.techdrivein.com/2011/03/ubuntu-1104-natty-narwhal-alpha-3.html03:46
cyberangerrobertzaccour: also in person, hang on03:46
robertzaccourok03:46
cyberangerwell, the link in topic has all the info, why repeat it ;-)03:47
robertzaccourhaha03:47
cyberangerand on Behalf of the LoCo, welcome03:47
robertzaccourI'm using natty atm03:47
robertzaccourso far pretty good03:47
robertzaccourthanks03:47
chris4585robertzaccour, ah, yeah I like it for the most part, I'm just waiting for unity to get better03:48
chris4585if its not, then I'll continue to use my altered classic gnome setup03:48
robertzaccouryou can always install gnome 3, right?03:49
cyberangerrobertzaccour: the april 7th loco meeting is in this channel, as it always is first thursday of the month03:49
robertzaccouroh ok thanks03:49
chris4585robertzaccour, you can switch between classic gnome and unity at anytime from the login screen03:50
cyberangerJuzzy: our meetings are always in irc, this channel, first thursday of the month03:50
chris4585you can alternative probably install gnome 3 classic desktop, or gnome-shell03:50
cyberangerand we're preparing release parties in a few cities03:51
cyberanger(and I intend to insure cookeville is on that list this time, if I can)03:51
robertzaccourthat is cool03:51
robertzaccourcyberanger, you head of the tn group?03:52
cyberanger(and unlike last time, should be a safe bet, presuming gas doesn't go much higher than now, I think I've planned everything shy of memphis to the tune of 4.50 a gal (memphis better be 4.00 a gal)03:52
cyberangerYes, I'm the trustee03:52
robertzaccourah ok03:52
cyberangerwe have regional leaders too, your cookeville, right? that'd put you under middle tn with pace_t_zulu then03:53
robertzaccouryeah cookeville03:54
robertzaccouroh ok03:54
cyberangerhe's nashville based, we have wrst and electricus from cookeville, if I recall03:54
cyberanger3 regions, west, middle and east03:55
cyberangerwest seems to be nearly all in memphis, middle is split, nashville area and cookeville (and cookeville is equally close to knoxville)03:56
cyberangereast tn is odd, I'm near chattanooga, the region leader is in morristown, another member on the KY state line, and two members knoxville area03:56
cyberangerwe try to cover everywhere, big state ;-)03:57
robertzaccourwell long state03:57
robertzaccouractually cookeville is a little closer to nashville03:58
cyberangerdepends on where to where03:58
robertzaccouroh true03:58
cyberangereast side of cookeville can hit west knoxville quicker than downtown nashville, perhaps even the airport if not city limits03:58
cyberangerand vise versa, minus the time zone messup, both are roughly an hour03:59
cyberangerhit traffic in either of them, skews it, the difference is smaller than the traffic it seems, at least based on every time I drive it04:00
cyberangeranyhow, if you have any questions, about the loco or ubuntu in general, odds are somebody here has the answer04:00
robertzaccourcookeville party, I can help plan04:01
robertzaccourwould meetings have to be indoors?04:01
cyberangerthat one might already planned, actually, gotta talk to some folks in the lug there and see04:02
cyberangerI welcome the input, don't get me wrong, just that one for some reason seems simplier than most04:02
robertzaccouroh ok thanks04:05
robertzaccourso you drive around all over the state for the meetings?04:06
cyberangernot before at least04:13
cyberangerI've driven to nashville and knoxville04:13
cyberangermostly walk nowadays (just too cheap for a car really)04:13
robertzaccourah ok04:13
cyberangerbut special occasions, gonna do something different this time04:14
robertzaccouri'm heading to work i'll be back on when i get there04:18
cyberangerI don't think I will be till morning04:18
cyberangercan only defy sleep for so long04:18
robertzaccourI'm back05:11
