juanantonioHello02:05
Unit193Hello juanantonio02:05
juanantonioIa m very happy with lubuntu 10.10, I'm using it in a 800 Mhz PIII with 256 Mb RAM (no graphics card), and lubuntu made it usable ;)02:07
juanantonioIn this moment I'm even trying to run daemons as the one of amule02:08
juanantonioand it is working, althoung Kad net it is not as stable as it is with the program02:09
juanantonioI am thinking of transposing to a 2,4 Ghz PIV PC that I have also02:10
Unit193What's it currently running?02:15
juanantonioThe PIV PC? Nothing, it has no RAM02:16
juanantonioand it is empty02:16
juanantonioI have a Q6600, it is my main computer with Kubuntu Lucyd64, I can have these ones to download and make a net with NFS02:17
juanantonioI tried and got once02:17
Unit193Don't try Kubuntu on your first computer ;)02:18
juanantonioNo, in fact I used SuSE 902:19
juanantonioand that's why I tried another distro based in KDE02:20
juanantonioI found it very logical, very easy to understand02:20
Unit193first computer = 800MHz PIII02:21
juanantonioAh, ok. No, I heard of lxde (in fact, I installed it in the K64 bits; it flied ;) )02:22
juanantonioand I thought it was a really perfect choice02:22
juanantonioNow I can tell it is02:24
juanantonioThe only thing I have to do is to try to configure an AGP 64 Mb Ati 7000 graphics card that I found02:26
juanantonioDo you thing it will be difficul to do it?02:30
juanantonioOk, I will tell you when I get it02:33
juanantonioBye02:34

Unit193Lubuntu would be better03:18
Quintink03:19
QuintinI figure I'll put lil icons on the menu for whatever he does, should be golden...03:19
QuintinI put lubuntu on mom's laptop... after struggling with normal installer not working, got it installed with text-mode.  reasonably fast... certainly faster than XP that was on it03:19
biffbaxtersometimes menu items might not show up if they are set gnome only, etc.. easily edited and fixed however.03:21
Quintinwoh woh hey now03:22
QuintinI don't want to edit anything, and they're certainly not bright enough to do so :P03:22
biffbaxter:)\03:22
QuintinI should make a custom window manager for mom03:22
Quintinone button.  click it and it boots farmville03:23

Nightshade_thats what i thought, thanks ^_^03:25
Quintinsudo apt-get install ubuntu-common-cruft03:25
biffbaxterHA...thats a great apt-get command :)03:25
biffbaxterI think I might tweet that...hehe03:26
Nightshade_i dont mind LXDE but its not as easy to customize as gnome03:26
Quintin:D03:26
Nightshade_agreed that is a great command03:26
QuintinI asked Keith how his laptop was working and he said it was ok.. but slow sometimes... I think it ought to scream with lubuntu03:28
Nightshade_sounds like it03:28

Quintinirssi is pretty win03:33
Nightshade_are there any other good ones?03:34
Nightshade_i like getting personal opinions instead of searching through mountains of threads on the subject03:34

Quintin(I'm vegan, but yea)03:34
Quintinbitch-x is ok03:34
