Brandonian | Anybody in here not a bot? | 17:33 |
---|---|---|
lorddelta | Why? | 17:40 |
lorddelta | I've been loitering around in here wondering if anyone ever uses this... | 17:40 |
lorddelta | If I'm not supposed to be here though... | 17:40 |
Brandonian | Me too on the loitering. Just feeling my way out. | 17:41 |
Brandonian | New-ish to ubuntu up in South Bend. You? | 17:42 |
lorddelta | Euh. Sorta mid to low range of experience with Ubuntu, Indy. | 17:42 |
Brandonian | cool | 17:43 |
Brandonian | nice to meet you | 17:44 |
lorddelta | Same. | 17:44 |
lorddelta | Though this is probably my first intense year of usage of it, I lived on Mac/PC mainly before that. I dabbled a couple years back and just wasn't technical enough to handle it... | 17:44 |
lorddelta | And WiFi didn't work well on my machines back then! | 17:45 |
Brandonian | I wiped my MacBook about 6 months ago and installed ubuntu on it. I've really enjoyed working with it. Lately, I've been doing some server stuff with ubuntu as well. | 17:46 |
Brandonian | Still can't get my iSight to work on the laptop, though... d'oh | 17:46 |
Brandonian | I bet no wifi was fun | 17:46 |
lorddelta | Yeah...I'm still not really technical enough to figure out how to setup my wifi today, but I feel like I could learn how it works if I really had to. I've spent my time getting accustomed to the cmd-line and trying to wrap my head around the whole "everything-is-a-file" thing. | 17:48 |
Brandonian | Any idea how active the ubuntu community is in Indy? I went to Linuxfest a few months ago, but haven't really heard much about it since. | 17:48 |
lorddelta | Nah. You came here through the forums, am I right? | 17:48 |
Brandonian | yeah, I'm mostly a Mac guy myself, so command line's still pretty intimidating... *reads* yup. | 17:49 |
lorddelta | *nod* I haven't been to a LUG myself here yet, (I intend to go though next time hopefully) but I suspect with ~100 users on the forums locally, we're probably not that active here in Indy. | 17:51 |
Brandonian | coolz | 17:52 |
lorddelta | So why'd you decide to wipe the 'book? | 17:52 |
lorddelta | Just curious. | 17:52 |
Brandonian | Performance issues. I was mirroring my iMac, which worked well for awhile, but once the hard drive started filling up, it became more and more of a pain to do anything on it. | 17:56 |
lorddelta | Cool. | 18:00 |
lorddelta | Just as much as I like Ubuntu/Linux I enjoy keeping a copy of Windows/OSX around...not everything works in wine, and I don't know of any such thing in existence for OSX apps. | 18:04 |
lorddelta | Well hey, if you know anyone else who uses Ubuntu, send 'em this way, I'd love to see an irc community get off the ground here. | 18:06 |
lorddelta | *back to lurking I guess* | 18:10 |
Brandonian | most def | 18:19 |
