| thegoodcushion | Recommendations for a cheap new laptop that can run Ubuntu? | 04:33 |
| elky | thegoodcushion, pioneercomputer.com.au have cheap computers and come with ubuntu installed. their customer service is appalling though. | 04:44 |
| elky | er, pioneercomputers.com.au | 04:44 |
| thegoodcushion | ok... | 04:44 |
| thegoodcushion | I was thinking of JB Hifi | 04:44 |
| thegoodcushion | or Officeworks | 04:44 |
| elky | that too. you'll have to go see what your local outlet has, write down the models and check the intarwebs | 04:45 |
| elky | and if you're in a place that has msy check their prices to see if they also have it, because both places will beat the price | 04:46 |

| head_victim | sagaci: I can't even find Ubuntu alpha on aarnet | 10:34 |
| sagaci | yeah, i'll send a request email sometime this week | 10:35 |
| head_victim | They have the repositories but maybe they don't do dailies or pre releases | 10:35 |
| head_victim | Now I have to wait :/ Ah well, it's going to take over an hour to dl | 10:36 |
| head_victim | I might have to do some REAL work instead of playing around with VBs | 10:36 |
| head_victim | I'm playing with Lubuntu 32 bit alpha 1 and Ubuntu 64 bit alpha 1 | 10:37 |
| head_victim | I'll just keep updating until release | 10:37 |
| gorilla | head_victim: VB === Victoria Bitter. Didn't think you had that up there. | 10:37 |
| head_victim | gorilla: ha ha | 10:37 |
| head_victim | I should really do an Xubuntu and Kubuntu install as well just to keep abreast of it all | 10:41 |
| sagaci | kubuntu has a nice installer | 10:47 |
| sagaci | well it's pretty much the same but it looks a bit nicer | 10:47 |
| elky | gorilla, i keep seeing people in wellington drinking it. i can't fathom why. | 11:11 |
| gorilla | elky: Because someone told them that it's a premium beer, perhaps? | 11:14 |
