[00:48] <phillw> belak: there is a community built 64bit version available.
[01:01] <phillw> belak: have a look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GetLubuntu
[04:27] <bU1337Pr00f> I just have a single question. Does Lubuntu support 64 bit architectures or is it only 32 bit? I was confused that there was only one .iso file to download off the site.
[04:28] <KM0201> bU1337Pr00f: the 64bit version (for now) isn't officially part of Lubuntu (a community port, of a community port..)... at last i think thats how it is.
[04:29] <Unit193> bU1337Pr00f: There is a community edition at: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GetLubuntu
[04:30] <bU1337Pr00f> So there won't be official support for 64 bit until the release of 11.10?
[04:31] <poltak_> No modern processors even support 64bit yet, so why would you even care unless you were running a supercomputer? :P
[04:31] <poltak_> (which I'm assuming you're not)
[04:32] <KM0201> bU1337Pr00f: far as i know, that is correct, but Unit193 would know better than i
[04:32] <bU1337Pr00f> poltak: then what is ia64 and x86_64?
[04:33] <poltak_> ia64 is itanium thingy... not really a common processor
[04:33] <bU1337Pr00f> True, but x86_64 if very common.
[04:33] <poltak_> x86_64 is for further advanced machines (not commercial)
[04:40] <bU1337Pr00f> well thanks for the answer. I'll leave a spot in my CD wallet for when Oneiric comes out.
[04:41] <poltak_> np
[04:41] <Unit193> poltak_: That is totally wrong. 64bit supported processors VERY common...
[04:41] <Unit193> +are
[04:42] <poltak_> Unit193: Okay Tron :P
[04:44]  * jgould has two 64 bit processors
[04:45] <jgould> they are x86_64's
[04:46] <poltak_> Ergh, you guys are imbeciles. Going back to my work.
[04:46] <bU1337Pr00f> I run a dual-core 64bit, that's why I asked.
[04:46] <Unit193> bioterror Howdy hoho!
[04:48] <canthus13> bU1337Pr00f: Which OS?
[04:48] <bU1337Pr00f> Right now Ubuntu Natty.
[04:48] <canthus13> bU1337Pr00f: 32 or 64?
[04:48] <bU1337Pr00f> 64
[04:48] <canthus13> :)
[04:49]  * canthus13 runs 32 on most of his machines, just for compatibility's sake, but runs Debian 64 on his servers with 64 bit processors.
[04:49] <bU1337Pr00f> I was thinking of shit canning it and switching to Gentoo, but it takes too long.
[04:50] <bU1337Pr00f> I was running Gentoo on my server. Old beat up Celeron 466. Takes 9 hours to complie the kernel...
[04:54] <canthus13> Heh.  That's why I stick with Debian for my servers.. precompiled, and works fine.  I was running it quite nicely on a 500mhz P3 with 128mb ram.. until I 'upgraded' the CPU and killed it, anyway... :/
[04:57] <bU1337Pr00f> That's why I like Gentoo. I can control just about everything. My next project is LFS.
[04:58] <canthus13> I've worked on and off with an LFS install in a VM for a while.... It's tedious.
[04:58] <canthus13> It's way more annoying than a stage one install.
[04:58] <bU1337Pr00f> Yeah... it's mento to be
[04:58] <canthus13> It's like making your own legos, then building a house with them.
[04:59] <bU1337Pr00f> I build houses too. ^_^ Don't use Legos though. Well logging off chan. Thanks for the info guys.

[11:22] <Daxwax> g'day
[12:41] <jarnos> How can you set autostarted applications in lubuntu natty?
[12:44] <bioterror> easily
[12:44] <bioterror> :)
[12:45] <bioterror> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/Documentation/FAQ
[13:24] <jarnos> bioterror, I tried that, but the item (for pidgin) is not chown in the list
[13:25] <jarnos> bioterror, I could not find the documentation via lubuntu.net, btw.
[13:26] <jarnos> bioterror, if it was easy, there would not be faq ;)
[13:29] <jarnos> ^^^shown
[13:32] <bioterror> you dont have pidgin.desktop in /usr/share/applications/ ?
[13:57] <jarnos> bioterror, yes I have an I copied it to ~/.config/autostart
[14:31] <jarnos> bioterror, xchat.desktop does affect the list, when I copied it.
[14:39] <SpaceBack> hi !
[14:40] <SpaceBack> i need the lubuntu alternate cd,i just cant find it
[14:52] <Daxwax> I guess he found it =)
[15:06] <mimilus_> plop
[15:06] <mimilus_> Is there a place to find an iso for lubuntu 10.04 ? not a torrent please !
[15:07] <mimilus_> How amount of memory does lubuntu eat by default ?
[15:07] <phillw> mimilus_: yes the link in the topic has all the methods of getting lubuntu
[15:09]  * mimilus_ is opening eyes
[15:09] <phillw> mimilus_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GetLubuntu
[15:09] <mimilus_> ah ok, thank's
[15:10] <mimilus_> the iso are live cd like standart ubuntu CDs ?
[15:10] <phillw> 128Mb is about the minimum for lubuntu
[15:10] <phillw> yes
[15:10] <mimilus_> ok thank's
[15:11] <phillw> just bear in mind the 'check cd' does not work on 10.04 (Save you thinking it was a corrupt download / burn)
[15:12] <mimilus_> ok thank's , at the end of the install, just before reboot ?
[15:13] <phillw> sorry?
[15:13] <mimilus_> check cd does not work, in the menu after boot ?
[15:14]  * mimilus_ 's trying to connect synapses
[15:15] <phillw> yes, you need to manually verify it. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/10.04
[15:15] <mimilus_> so I'll see it , that's it ?
[15:15] <mimilus_> ok thank's
[15:53] <jarnos> Can someone add pidgin to autostarted applications?
[15:54] <stlsaint> jarnos: you can on your install ;)
[15:54] <jarnos> stlsaint, like how?
[15:55] <Unit193> jarnos: Is that what you want to do? There is a sweet wiki page telling you how: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/Documentation/FAQ
[15:57] <jarnos> Unit193, for some reason it does not work for pidgin.desktop in Natty.
[15:59] <Unit193> jarnos: You're talking about program launch on login?
[16:00] <jarnos> Unit193, I can't see pidgin in Desktop Session Settings dialog even if I copy pidgin.desktop to ~/.config/autostart
[16:13] <jarnos> Unit193, it is strange, since I can add xchat to autostarted in similar way, actually it shows enabled in the dialog, if I copy the respective file.
[16:16] <jarnos> Even if not shown in the dialog, pidgin gets autostarted in login.
[16:16] <Unit193> jarnos: That does seem a little odd...
[18:22] <home-alone> hi....what are the system requirements for Lubuntu...???
[18:43] <mikedep334> home-alone: with 10.04 at least, basically any computer with 128MB of RAM
[18:44] <mikedep334> eg, you could use a 300 mhz CPU if you had to
[18:44] <mikedep334> a video card that can do 1024x768 would be safe
[18:44] <faaar> hello
[18:44] <mikedep334> keyboard + mouse, stuff like a trackball should work too
[18:44] <mikedep334> home-alone: oh, at least 3GB of HDD space or so
[18:44] <faaar> someone can help me?how can i install skype on lubuntu 11.04?
[18:45] <mikedep334> faaar, I know that if you install the ubuntu software center you can install it from the "canonical partners"
[18:45] <mikedep334> let me see if there's a direct way
[18:46] <mikedep334> faaar: can you try running: sudo software-properties-gtk
[18:46] <faaar> i ll try
[18:46] <mikedep334> if it works, go to the "other software" tab
[18:47] <mikedep334> and enable the partner repository (not the one with source code)
[18:47] <faaar> yes
[18:47] <faaar> now what?
[18:47] <mikedep334> if that works, open up synpatic package manager
[18:47] <mikedep334> hit "reload" or whatever in the top left
[18:47] <mikedep334> and search for skype
[18:47] <mikedep334> select it
[18:47] <mikedep334> hit install
[18:48] <mikedep334> it should then install
[18:48] <Unit193> mikedep334: You really should use gksudo with GUI apps!
[18:48] <mikedep334> Unit193: ahh, thanks
[18:50] <faaar> it works,thanks mikedep334
[18:50] <mikedep334> faaar: glad to be of help!
[18:50] <mikedep334> run a test call though
[18:51] <home-alone> does Lubuntu uses only LXDE as DE...???
[18:51] <mikedep334> home-alone: you can add other desktop environments if you want
[18:51] <mikedep334> I'm almost definite you chose between them at the login prompt
[18:51] <mikedep334> it's part of LXDM
[18:51] <mikedep334> LXDE Display Manager
[18:52] <mikedep334> eg, you can install the "ubuntu-desktop" package to get gnome
[18:52] <home-alone> but then it will nomore Lubuntu...???
[18:52] <Unit193> Don't forget about the openbox
[18:52] <home-alone> "L"in lubuntu is LXDE
[18:52] <mikedep334> then went prompted, chose to stick with lxdm as the display manager
[18:53] <mikedep334> home-alone: Lubuntu uses LXDE, Ubuntu uses gnome. Whichever one you start out with doesn't matter too much.
[18:54] <mikedep334> AFAIK, if you're switching between GNOME & LXDE, the only real difference between Ubuntu & Lubuntu is the artwork on bootup & the display manager
[18:54] <mikedep334> just keep in mind that installing Ubuntu-Desktop will install ALL the standard GNOME Ubuntu packages
[18:54] <mikedep334> it will take up a lot of space
[18:55] <mikedep334> and GNOME apps will use up more memory than LXDE (or regular GTK) apps in general
[18:55] <home-alone> I will go with default Lubuntu . I have a fairly old pc its PII with 256 ram and 20 gb HD
[18:56] <Unit193> Ubuntu went Unity, so not so much gnome ;)
[18:57] <mikedep334> home-alone: Ubuntu 10.04 should run great on there
[18:57] <home-alone> no ubuntu 10.04 is pretty slow on it
[18:57] <mikedep334> Ubuntu 11.04 used up like 256MB for me out-of-box, but I think there may have been something wrong or a hardware-specific memory usage issue.
[18:58] <mikedep334> Ubuntu 11.04 should defniitely run on it though
[18:58] <Unit193> mikedep334: s/Ubuntu/Luubuntu ?
[18:58] <mikedep334> home-alone: do not expect 11.04 to be significantly faster than 10.04 though
[18:58] <mikedep334> Unit193: my bad
[18:58] <mikedep334> Lubuntu
[18:59] <mikedep334> *Lubuntu 11.04 used up like 200-250 MB of RAM for me out-of-box for some reason, but I think there may have been something wrong...
[18:59] <mikedep334> home-alone: you might want to try the 'midori' web browser if web browsing goes slow
[18:59] <mikedep334> also, try not run too many apps at once (but that's generic advice)
[19:00] <mikedep334> also, here's the latest version of midori: https://launchpad.net/~midori/+archive/ppa
[19:00] <mikedep334> let me know if you need help installing it from the PPA
[19:00] <Unit193> I have heard good things about arora too (Midori is a great browser, if a little buggy)
[19:00] <mikedep334> Unit193: haven't tried it
[19:01] <mikedep334> I know many people are using epiphany too, it's lightweight now that it uses webkit
[19:02] <mikedep334> Unit193: Arora uses QT though, QT would take up some extra memory on his system
[19:04] <Unit193> mikedep334: Yeah... That is the downside. I personally use midori
[19:06] <mikedep334> Unit193: yup
[19:07] <mikedep334> I mainly know about this stuff for when I am helping people with old systems
[19:07] <mikedep334> I use firefox or chome myself
[19:07] <mikedep334> *chrome
[19:08] <Unit193> Chrome? Not Chromium?
[19:11] <kosaidpo> hello guys
[19:12] <kosaidpo> anyone know a good app to convert files to mp4 ??
[19:16] <mikedep334> kosaidpo: assuming you mean apple mp4 files, then handbrake should do a good job
[19:16] <mikedep334> Unit193: I use Chrome. I am also on Windows most of the time (ie, now)
[19:17] <kosaidpo> mikedep334: thanks ill try it now ,btw i mean an application by app : D
[19:17] <mikedep334> kosaidpo: np, every body knows application = app
[19:18] <mikedep334> kosaidpo: what (L)ubuntu release are you on?
[19:18] <mikedep334> here's the PPA for Lucid and older
[19:18] <mikedep334> https://launchpad.net/~handbrake-ubuntu/+archive/ppa
[19:18] <kosaidpo> mikedep334: 11.04
[19:19] <mikedep334> kosaidpo: ahh, good
[19:19] <kosaidpo> mikedep334: but its not availabe tho :P
[19:19] <mikedep334> handbrake-gtk is the package you want, it's in the default repositories
[19:19] <mikedep334> hmm
[19:19] <kosaidpo> i have to add the repo mikedep334
[19:19] <mikedep334> maybe I got it from another repo
[19:20] <kosaidpo> ohh okies no console version ?? i wud like it if its lighter n faster
[19:20] <Unit193> !info handbreak-gtk
[19:20] <mikedep334> kosaidpo: oh, there should be handbrake-cli
[19:20] <mikedep334> I assumed you weren't fluent with the CLI
[19:21] <kosaidpo> mikedep334: im not tho but ilike to use it :D
[19:21] <mikedep334> kosaidpo: getdeb has handbrake-gtk & handbrake-cli
[19:21] <mikedep334> kosaidpo: cool
[19:21] <kosaidpo> so i can be fluent in the future
[19:21] <mikedep334> the PPA is only for lucid and older
[19:21] <kosaidpo> mikedep334: ohhh okies
[19:22] <mikedep334> kosaidpo: http://www.getdeb.net/software/HandBrake
[19:22] <mikedep334> looks like you'll have to add the entire getdeb repo
[19:23] <mikedep334> that link does not include the handbrake-cli package
[19:23] <mikedep334> http://www.getdeb.net/updates/Ubuntu/11.04/?q=handbrake
[19:23] <mikedep334> see the "Click here to learn how to install application from getdeb"
[19:23] <kosaidpo> i dont mind addin the getden repo i have already the game one :D
[19:23] <mikedep334> follow the instructions, and then you should be able to find handbrake-cli in synaptic
[19:24] <Unit193> or apt-get ;)
[19:24] <mikedep334> Unit193: or "sudo aptitude install handbrake-cli"
[19:25] <mikedep334> I for one will mourn the loss of aptitude on the ubuntu-desktop CD
[19:25] <Unit193> I won't as I use apt-get full time
[19:25] <mikedep334> Unit193: gotcha
[19:25] <mikedep334> I have a ton of trouble whenever I try to use the interactive mode of aptitude
[19:25] <Unit193> mikedep334: Have you looked at pastebinit? That's one program I want by default
[19:26] <mikedep334> but the command line mode (if that is the correct term) has more feature than apt-get
[19:26] <mikedep334> try entering "aptitude " then hitting tab
[19:26] <kosaidpo> mikedep334: i use apt-get too :D
[19:26] <mikedep334> Unit193: no, sounds cool though
[19:27] <Unit193> mikedep334: lspci |pastebinit | usage :D
[19:27] <kosaidpo> guys icant add the deb http://archive.getdeb.net/ubuntu natty-getdeb apps using the cmmd line ??
[19:27] <mikedep334> for example, try "aptitude search <part-of-package-name>"
[19:27] <kosaidpo> i mean with apt-add-repo
[19:27] <mikedep334> Unit193: ahh! good test case.
[19:27] <Unit193> mikedep334: apt-cache search lala
[19:27] <Unit193> mikedep334: Maybe we should take this -offtopic...
[19:28] <mikedep334> kosaidpo: use sudo dpkg -i <getdeb-.deb-file-name>
[19:28] <mikedep334> or double click the getdeb repository-adding deb
[19:28] <mikedep334> in case that works
[19:28] <mikedep334> Unit193: I'm about to head out
[19:29] <kosaidpo> miked yeh i kno it will im jst curious how to add a non launchapd repo using the console for ex this one sudo apt-add-repository deb http://archive.getdeb.net/ubuntu natty-getdeb apps
[19:29]  * kosaidpo this does work
[19:29] <mikedep334> kosaidpo: in case you don't know, you do need to use sudo
[19:30] <kosaidpo> mikedep334: what ?? i use this ---> sudo apt-add-repository deb http://archive.getdeb.net/ubuntu natty-getdeb apps  BUT its not wokin
[19:30] <mikedep334> kosaidpo: the line "deb http://arhive.getdeb.net/ubuntu natty-getdeb apps" needs to be entered in software-properties-gtk
[19:31] <kosaidpo> mikedep334: so thers no way to do it via the console ?
[19:31] <mikedep334> kosaidpo: it's a different syntax
[19:31] <mikedep334> let me look it up
[19:31] <kosaidpo> k
[19:32] <mikedep334> kosaidpo: apt-add-repository is only for PPA's it sounds like
[19:32] <mikedep334> try running just:
[19:33] <mikedep334> sudo deb http://archive.getdeb.net/ubuntu natty-getdeb apps
[19:33] <mikedep334> then the 2nd command they tell you to for the signature
[19:33] <kosaidpo> not workin
[19:33] <kosaidpo> :P
[19:35] <mikedep334> hmm
[19:35] <mikedep334> the deb command does not exist
[19:35] <mikedep334> oh, ok
[19:35] <mikedep334> run:
[19:35] <mikedep334> sudo apt-add-repository http://archive.getdeb.net/ubuntu natty-getdeb apps
[19:36] <kosaidpo> mikedep334: this one doesnt work
[19:36] <mikedep334> kosaidpo: for reference, I looked this up by running: apt-add-repository --help
[19:36] <mikedep334> hmm
[19:38] <kosaidpo> mikedep334: yesh :P
[19:38] <mikedep334> got it!
[19:38] <mikedep334> sudo apt-add-repository 'http://archive.getdeb.net/ubuntu natty-getdeb apps'
[19:38] <mikedep334> for reference
[19:39] <mikedep334> you chould probably put the original line (beginning with 'deb') into a file like /etc/apt/sources.list
[19:39] <mikedep334> Unit193: how do you echo a line into a file with >> when you need to use sudo?
[19:39] <kosaidpo> okies thanks
[19:40] <mikedep334> I thought it complains about permissions
[19:40] <kosaidpo> mikedep334: even i already did it using the gui :P
[19:40] <Unit193> mikedep334: I just use sudo nano
[19:40] <mikedep334> Unit193: yeah, me too
[19:40] <kosaidpo> mikedep334: i guess sudo echo "hello" > filename
[19:40] <mikedep334> I just want to avoid making typing mistakes at times
[19:40] <bioterror> no
[19:40] <bioterror> two arrows
[19:40] <Unit193> Doesn't that clear the file?
[19:40] <bioterror> when you want to append
[19:41] <mikedep334> yeah, two arrows is append
[19:41] <mikedep334> one arrow is overwrite
[19:41] <mikedep334> make sure you use the correct one!
[19:41] <kosaidpo> yeh sorry need to add 2 arrows
[19:41] <bioterror> Kurdistan, 6-1!! :D
[19:42] <mikedep334> sudo echo deb http://archive.getdeb.net/ubuntu natty-getdeb apps >> /etc/apt/sources.list

[19:43] <mikedep334> same error
[19:43] <Kurdistan> bioterror, almost, you talk about hocky?
[19:43] <bioterror> Kurdistan, ya!
[19:43] <Kurdistan> finland against sweden?
[19:43] <bioterror> ya!
[19:44] <Kurdistan> :) okey now I understand
[19:44] <Kurdistan> grattis
[19:45] <Kurdistan> how is lubuntu shaping up?
[19:45] <mikedep334> ok, I'm off to play with my eee pad transformer at starbucks at the mall
[19:45] <mikedep334> last weekend I was there with my viewsonic gtablet, after talking to an apple store employee for a bit he encouraged me to apply for a job at the apple store
[19:46] <mikedep334> Kurdistan: I didn't get a chance to play with it too much; I installed it on a machine with either a failing HDD & DVD drive, or a failing storage controller
[19:46] <Kurdistan> mikedep334, I see. better luck later then.
[21:04] <d3vl1n> hi all
[21:45] <semitones> hey you guys
[21:45] <semitones> i'm running lubuntu from USB, and it's not detecting my wifi card that it should detect (texas instruments acx)
[21:53] <szczur> i guess tiacx modules were removed form kernel around ubuntu 9.10. You'll have to use windows drivers with ndiswrapper.
[21:53] <szczur> http://www.linux-archive.org/ubuntu-kernel-team/273818-ubutu-karmic-module-acx-dropped.html
[22:47] <bodhi_zazen> I am looking for advice on how to make an iso bootable from grub2 without installing the iso
[22:47] <bodhi_zazen> I understand lubuntu has been modified to allow this, but can not find documentation of how to do this
[22:47] <bodhi_zazen> anyone here able to shed some light on the question ?
[22:50] <Unit193> bodhi_zazen: You're asking about changes to the ISO? That's best for jmarsden, gilir or maybe even bioterror
[22:50] <Unit193> ISO Building that is
[22:53] <bodhi_zazen> Well, it will probably be changes to the initrd ...
[22:53] <bodhi_zazen> but yes
[22:56] <Unit193> You may need to hangout for a while...
[23:14] <Unit193> Do you have any idea what file it might be in?
[23:17] <bodhi_zazen> Well, to boot an iso you use a config for grub2 that loop mounts the iso
[23:17] <phillw> bodhi_zazen: lubuntu have only been very recently the tools for ubuntu official builds
[23:18] <phillw> bodhi_zazen: in the past, the devs were using their own system.

[23:19] <phillw> by the way, hello bodhi_zazen, master. Quiet I may be, listen I do :)
[23:19] <bodhi_zazen> So I can loop mount my zenix iso, but I am getting a kernel panic
[23:19] <bodhi_zazen> 'lo phillw =)
[23:20] <phillw> bodhi_zazen: jmarsden would probably be the best to help you on that issue.
[23:20] <bodhi_zazen> so my kernel loads, it runs initrd (the init in the rd) , but then when it goes to pass off the root fs -> panic
[23:23] <phillw> bodhi_zazen: as you well know, I'm an admin not a dev. get a hold of https://wiki.ubuntu.com/JonathanMarsden and have a chat to him, he is a really good guy and well skilled.
[23:26] <semitones> hey phillw how's it going?
[23:27] <phillw> semitones: after yesterday, waking with a pulse was good :) Things are okay. How are things with you?
[23:28] <Unit193> Had a little spam there...
[23:28] <semitones> whoa, intense :)
[23:28] <semitones> things with me are pretty ok -- just struggling a little with installing lubuntu to my dad's old laptop
[23:29] <semitones> are you on lubuntu right now?
[23:31] <phillw> semitones: nope, it is on my to do list, once I have the database recovered for my parents' company. Which has so far taken 3 days. It will either go well, or fail massively.
[23:31] <semitones> good luck!
[23:32] <phillw> semitones: what is the problem?
[23:33] <semitones> phillw, lubuntu doesn't automatically detect my old wifi card
[23:33] <semitones> it looks like the drivers were dropped from the kernel
[23:33] <semitones> so I was wondering if lubuntu had ndiswrapper installed automatically
[23:34] <phillw> semitones: As we use the standard WiFi that comes with the ubuntu family, if it works on ubuntu and not on lubuntu then it is a bug that needs checking.
[23:35] <semitones> phillw, I'll boot ubuntu and verify -- I'm using 10.10 by the way, 11.04 won't boot at all (it might be a bad .iso
[23:35] <semitones> )
[23:37] <phillw> semitones: as I am running 9.10 ubuntu as they managed to 'improve' things and break my 3G device, sometimes things go well, some times there are regressions. We adapt :)
[23:37] <semitones> yeah
[23:37] <mikedep334> semitones: you know how to check the burnt CD?
[23:37] <mikedep334> it's in the boot menu
[23:37] <semitones> mikedep334, hehe, about that
[23:38] <semitones> it fails the same way if I choose "test cd" or "install"
[23:38] <semitones> actually, let me try it on a newer computer
[23:38] <mikedep334> semitones: try one of the F6 options I think
[23:38] <phillw> semitones: depends on which version of lubuntu you are using :)
[23:38] <mikedep334> there should be some options like "disable acpi"
[23:38] <semitones> mikedep334, you think that will work?
[23:38] <mikedep334> semitones: yes, it's worked for me in the past
[23:39] <mikedep334> especially on older PC's
[23:39] <mikedep334> fiddle with those hardware compatibility options
[23:39] <mikedep334> well, not older PC's, but still
[23:42] <semitones> ok
[23:42] <semitones> dang this time the bootlogo is taking a long time to come up
[23:43] <semitones> yuck, it froze trying to load bootlogo
[23:43] <semitones> blinking cursor syndrome
[23:43] <bodhi_zazen> While I am here ...
[23:43] <bodhi_zazen> phillw: do you mind if I post a link to my custom iso ?
[23:44] <Unit193> bodhi_zazen: I'm guessing you could in #lubuntu-offtopic ?
[23:45] <phillw> bodhi_zazen: not at all, my friend. and if you wish a secondary link for it, I will happily post it to my server,
[23:45] <bodhi_zazen> Thank you

[23:45] <bodhi_zazen> Downloads : http://zenix-os.net/download.html
[23:46] <bodhi_zazen> phillw: If you would be willing to mirror those , that would be fantastic
[23:46] <bodhi_zazen> PM me the url and I will add it to the downloads page
[23:47] <phillw> bodhi_zazen: I will get bioterror to upload them to my server. but, as Unit193 pointed out - rules are rules and we 'should' be on #lubuntu-offtopic. Heck, we do train them well :)
[23:51] <Unit193> phillw: I wasn't sure if linking to other distros was allowed in here...
[23:54] <phillw> Unit193: officially it should have been done on -offtopic, however all rules are made with the sole intent of being broken. And to have that 'rule' broken by such a fantastic guy is, to me, a honour.
