[09:28] <shantorn> say have you done any playing with ubun 11.10
[09:28] <bkerensa> Yeah
[09:29] <bkerensa> dont like it
[09:29] <bkerensa> :)
[09:29] <shantorn> why for?
[09:29] <bkerensa> I run Natty Classic on my laptop and my desktop I'm running 10.10
[09:29] <bkerensa> I dont like Natty
[09:29] <bkerensa> :)
[09:31] <bkerensa> I mean I dont like Unity
[09:31] <shantorn> structurally or the interface?

[09:32] <bkerensa> brb
[09:40] <shantorn> wb
[09:41] <bkerensa> thx
[09:41] <bkerensa> Running Xbuntu right now
[09:41] <bkerensa> :)
[09:41] <bkerensa> I think I might totally switch
[09:42] <shantorn> what makes it better?
[09:42] <bkerensa> Its lean (lightweight) uses far less cpu/memory but all the same functionality
[09:43] <bkerensa> If I had as many apps running in Ubuntu that I have up in Xubuntu then I would freeze up
[09:43] <bkerensa> :P
[09:43] <shantorn> oh wow
[09:43] <bkerensa> yeah
[09:43] <shantorn> better setup for mid resource machines?
[09:43] <bkerensa> my desktop has 500mb of ram
[09:43] <bkerensa> :)
[09:44] <bkerensa> yeah
[09:44] <shantorn> makes sense
[09:44] <shantorn> say are you a student?
[09:44] <shantorn> i am
[09:44] <bkerensa> my laptop has 4GB and Dual Core but I still might switch to Xbuntu on it just so I can put more resources to crunching
[09:44] <bkerensa> Not currently
[09:44] <bkerensa> :)
[09:44] <bkerensa> I might go back to PCC in the Spring
[09:45] <shantorn> i may have landed the ultimate job for me with the family i have, a park host 1 mile from my kids school and its has 4 playgrounds less than 1 minute walk from the house, lol and they pay me
[09:46] <bkerensa> Where do you study?
[09:46] <bkerensa> Park Host isnt a bad gig at all I have a friend who did it in California and he loved it
[09:46] <shantorn> information  systems, used to be compuer specialist. I have been doing computers since 92 but finaly figured out i need a degree to make any advancement
