[01:54] <Juzzy> :>
[01:55] <wrst> howdy Juzzy
[01:55] <Juzzy> hola
[01:55] <wrst> Juzzy: you being the career counselor :) I know a guy that may be moving in the area that's a python developer is there any hope for him finding a job?
[01:56] <Juzzy> yea actually
[01:56] <wrst> really cool
[01:56] <Juzzy> I get random recruiters all the time asking me for weird languages
[01:56]  * wrst is a bean counter so knows nothing of the computer job world
[01:56] <Juzzy> one has a standing order for ruby developers but they dont advertise the positions at all
[01:57] <linuxman410> wrst have u ever tried aptosid
[01:57] <Juzzy> python would be a weird language to be exclusive to
[01:57] <wrst> ahh cool Juzzy might invite him in here sometime to give you a yell if that is ok?
[01:57] <Juzzy> sure.
[01:57] <wrst> Juzzy: he does other things but not for sure what
[01:57] <wrst> cool, thanks Juzzy
[01:57] <Juzzy> moving to nashville area?
[01:57] <wrst> linuxman410: never tried it before
[01:58] <wrst> Juzzy: actually moving to the states his wife is from the US he is from south africa
[01:58] <wrst> so he would probably go anywhere that there is work
[01:58] <Juzzy> ah
[01:59] <linuxman410> wrst some dummy in puppy linux irc room told me to use windows i said no way stupid
[01:59] <Juzzy> using a H1B work visa then?
[01:59] <Juzzy> or whatever it is
[01:59] <wrst> I think so Juzzy
[01:59] <Juzzy> that can be harder
[01:59] <Juzzy> there's already a limited market on that, and indians spam the shit out of it
[01:59] <wrst> i forget what he said he had Juzzy I will find out
[02:00] <wrst> well he speaks good english at least maybe that could help :)
[02:00] <Juzzy> maybe :>
[02:00] <wrst> linuxman410: few linux support places are as nice as we are here :)
[02:00] <Juzzy> gunna finish watching resivior dogs heh
[02:01] <linuxman410> wrst they are going to get nice or face the linuxman cause i will tell them how it is
[02:02] <wrst> thanks Juzzy for the info
[02:02] <wrst> ha ha linuxman410, puppy haven't tried that before
[02:02] <linuxman410> most guys in puppylinux room were still in diapers when i started using linux
[02:03] <wrst> no wait I have used puppy its the super light one right?
[02:03] <linuxman410> yeah
[02:04] <linuxman410> wrst i started using linux in 1998
[02:05] <wrst> what did you start out with linuxman410?
[02:05] <linuxman410> mandrake 7.0
[02:06] <wrst> ahh yes mandriva now
[02:06] <wrst> and of course mageia is a fork
[02:06] <linuxman410> yes that is the one
[02:06] <wrst> i'm a big fan of mageia
[02:06] <linuxman410> i always like mandriva one
[02:07] <wrst> yes me too
[02:08] <wrst> its a very solid distro i'm not a huge kde fan, but they do a good job with kde
[02:08] <linuxman410> i also used debian 2.2
[02:10] <linuxman410> wrst with aptosid u have to exit x to do all upgrades
[02:10] <wrst> linuxman410: that's weird, why?
[02:10] <linuxman410> i tried it in x and it crashed
[02:11] <linuxman410> wrst it is based on wheezy
[02:11] <wrst> yeah I may give wheezy a try
[02:12] <linuxman410> wrst aptosid is a rolling release you just have to upgrade to go to next version
[02:13] <wrst> yeah only thing even with wheezy the packages aren't nearly as fresh as arch
[02:13] <linuxman410> wrst i could never figure out arch
[02:13] <wrst> linuxman410: never had any trouble as long as you follow the wiki word for word
[02:14] <wrst> but I wouldn't suggest going into their irc to get support
[02:15] <linuxman410> wrst are the smarty  pants
[02:16] <wrst> they just tell you to go read the documentation :)
[02:16] <wrst> and usually that is a smarty pants, but the documentation is really that good
[02:16] <wrst> if ubuntu had arch's documentation it would be flat out awesome
[02:16] <linuxman410> wrst i went into one irc room and they got real smart and i told them no one should use their stupid os
[02:17] <wrst> yeah its a little bit of an elitist group
[02:18] <linuxman410> wrst one guy threaten to ban me i told him to go ahead i would be back under another name
[02:18] <wrst> that's one of those deals where you kinda have to fit into the way they do things
[02:19] <wrst> i've just never asked anything in there :)
[02:19] <linuxman410> i like to go into the windows room on account of my username
[02:20] <linuxman410> wrst i like to ask questions about windows 3.1
[02:21] <wrst> windows 3.1 ha ha
[02:21] <linuxman410> like how can i install internet explorer 8 in 3.1
[02:21] <wrst> ha
[02:22] <linuxman410> wrst i do not think they like me in there
[02:22] <wrst> well... ;)
[02:23] <linuxman410> wrst its all good
 wrst i started using linux in 1998
 what did you start out with linuxman410?
 mandrake 7.0

[03:03] <Juzzy> and i remember buying a rh 5.0 boxed set heh
[03:03] <Juzzy> but whatever
[10:26] <wrst> Juzzy: you all are veterans in here on linux compared to me I started with ubuntu 7.04 and had trouble with broadcom wireless and moved to whatever mandriva was at the time they had  a much easier way of getting broadcom to work, but then came 7.10 with the auto hardware driver thing (jockey) and I was pretty well set on ubuntu
