valoriebut tht's kubuntu, of course21:35
valorie60% done.....21:35

* seattlegaucho .oO( stupid KDE restarted on its own for no reason )23:30
androidbruce10.10 is my best friend right now 23:31
seattlegauchokubuntu had some disturbing tweets this morning23:32
seattlegauchonot upgrading for a while23:32
zenroxxubuntu is nice23:33
seattlegauchozenrox: by the time I installed my preferred packages, I already would have enough KDE and/or Gnome in place that I'd rather go w/ the full desktop23:33
valoriewell, I'm seeding all the kub's while I wait for my backup to finish23:33
seattlegauchoamarok & quassel are good examples23:34
zenroxxfce plays nice with all of gnome and kde23:34
zenroxalso e17 is also fun to play with23:34
seattlegauchoyes, but kde packages start installing all the libraries ... which beats the purpose of using xfce -> thin23:35
zenroxonly when you use a kde app23:35
zenroxand you can go thru and kill them after your done with it23:35
seattlegauchowhich I do quite a bit since I like them :)23:36
zenroxa bit of a pain but a miner pain in the but23:36
zenroxi only use a few apps23:36
zenroxfrom kde23:36
seattlegauchoOTH I'm running on a i7 Quad w/ 8G of RAM and almost 1T of disk @ work ... so thin makes no sense :)23:37
zenroxtrue23:37
seattlegauchoand I didn't like xfce UI on my netbook23:37
zenroxbut for a lappy like mine is does23:37
zenroxos[Linux 2.6.38-8-generic i686] distro[Ubuntu "natty" 11.04] cpu[2 x AMD Athlon Dual-Core QL-62 (AuthenticAMD) @ 1000MHz] mem[Physical: 2.7GB, 75.3% free] disk[Total: 229.2GB, 76.6% free] video[nVidia Corporation C77 [GeForce 8200M G]] sound[HDA-Intel - HDA NVidia]23:37
seattlegauchoI'm hoping KDE cleaned up their Netbook edition23:38
androidbrucethe new xfce is cool 23:38
androidbrucenice to see it's not abandoned 23:38
zenroxandroidbruce, agreed23:38
androidbruceim still a gnome fan 23:38
seattlegauchoI might try it as well ... I always run it first on a VM to get a feel ... then go for it23:39
androidbruceseattlegaucho: vm's ftw23:39
zenroxi dint like unity 23:39
zenroxi like my std menus23:39
androidbruceehh unity is :/23:39
seattlegauchoandroidbruce: I'm forced to use gnome on my netbook ... kde is too fat for it23:39
androidbruceit has potential 23:39
androidbrucekde is super fat 23:39
androidbruceand just..............bleh 23:39
zenroxunity was nice to use but it wasnt for me23:39
seattlegauchokde has superior eye candy 23:39
zenroxkde allways was superfat23:40
seattlegauchokde loads all the resources up front ... as opposed to gnome that loads them on demand23:40
zenroxnot any more tho23:40
zenroxgnome is loading more at start up23:40
seattlegauchowith big apps I like kde's approach, although it has been buggy for years given its complexity23:40
zenroxnow than it has bine23:40
zenroxi have bine wating for kde to clean up there source so it was a little more faster so to speek23:41
seattlegauchothey re-architect everything every now and then ... so it's pointless :/23:42
zenroxya i know 23:42
zenroxbut thare are allway more than one way to skin a cat23:43
zenroxbut thats what linux is all about 23:44
zenroxpick what you like and use it23:44
seattlegauchopretty much23:45
zenroxso eatch to there own23:45
zenroxthoes i am happy with what i am useing and it works the way i expect 23:46
zenroxonly issue i am worried about with xfce is a gui menu editior like alacarte for gnome23:46
valorieKDE <323:48
