DraZoroI am still behind :)09:48
Kiloslol i am on maverick still09:49
Kilosnatty isnt happy with my pc09:49
Kilosbut i checked it out and looks good09:49
DraZoroSame here Natty is fighting with me after updates ...but I experimented with gnome-shell so I am not surprised 09:50
DraZoroI am glad fluxbox is working fine even after crashing unity 09:50
Kilosian has gone kubuntu with natty and loves it09:50
Kilosbut his new work is all windows orientated09:50
DraZoroYeah Kubuntu has attracted a lot of candidates since Natty release 09:51
superflyhi DraZoro09:51
DraZoroHello superfly 09:52
DraZoroI missed the Software Freedom Day but I was lucky to be updated by Kodez09:55
* superfly is a Kubuntu fanatic09:57
Kiloslol we noticed09:57
DraZoroI am planning to give Lubuntu a try with 11.10 09:58
Kilosi tried xubuntu in natty too09:58
Kilosnot bad but gnome is more me friendly09:58
Kilosless thinking09:58
DraZorolol09:58
* nlsthzn strokes his Unity and it purrrrrs back at him09:58
DraZoroSo many choices I wonder what will be like in 10 years time in open source world 09:59
Kilosi think the fly is using 11.10 on his server already10:00
superflyKilos: on my desktop, yes, but not on my server10:06
superflymy servers run the LTS10:06
Kilosah ty 10:06
nlsthznIt wouldn't be advisable running Beta software on a server (except for testing I guess) :)10:07
morgsRunning a non LTS version on a server has bitten me big time because I couldn't just upgrade the OS every 6 months - the downtime on the site is too risky. We need to redeploy the whole stack.10:20
magespawni am running natty in my shop but with gnome. most of the user are used to windows gnome is the closest of the two10:30
DraZoroI remember last year when I configured a basic internet cafe. The user in my area kept on asking what version of Windows is this ....and funny it was Ubuntu Maverick. 10:32
magespawnhow did you control the internet access?10:34
DraZoromagespawn: That guy closed the business before I could get that step right. 10:37
magespawnohh right. so it was a long term business then.10:37
DraZoroI was planning to use Outkafe10:38
DraZoroNo it was just a small business ...just 3 computers 10:38
magespawnhad a look at that. i only have 2 at the moment.10:39
DraZoroAre you using Outkafe ?10:39
superflyAnyone else heard of Desura?10:57
DraZoroNo 10:57
superflyheard of Steam?10:58
DraZoroAll this is new superfly I will check them out10:58
superflyDraZoro: they are digital distribution programs for games10:59
superflybut I was accepted into the Linux beta programme for desura this morning10:59
DraZoroYeah busy googling 10:59
DraZoroThose are good news11:00
DraZoroSo you will hosting game severs superfly ?11:09
superflyDraZoro: no, it just means I can download the Linux client which is in beta testing at the moment11:11
DraZoroOh 11:11

magespawnKilos it is software to manage an internet cafe. server side control for client computers.13:51
Kiloswhat does maaz say13:52
Kilosis there nothing in the repos13:52
Kilosmaaz google internet cafe management with ubuntu13:54

Kilosgrr14:18
Kilosmagespawn, 14:18
Kilosi have learned to try use whats available to us as much as possible . i tried some other things a while back and caused big probs on my pc and the fly fought me14:19
Kiloshehe14:19
magespawnmkahawa14:21
Kilosgood luck. hope it works kiff for you14:21
magespawnthe softvision one is for sale, they only give you a 15 day trial quite pricey 119 usd14:23
Kiloseish14:23
magespawnnot too bad, but out of the budget for now.14:24
Kilosthere is normally something along the freeware paths that is almost as good and at times better14:25
Kilosor some linux guy has worked out a better way14:26
magespawnthere is a piece of software called DD-WRT i think, that allows you to flash your router and control everything from there.14:30
magespawnmaaz google DD-WRT14:30
Maazmagespawn: "www.dd-wrt.com | Unleash Your Router" http://www.dd-wrt.com/ :: "Router Database | www.dd-wrt.com" http://www.dd-wrt.com/site/support/router-database :: "Supported Devices - DD-WRT Wiki" http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Supported_Devices :: "What is DD-WRT? - DD-WRT Wiki" http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/What_is_DD-WRT%3F :: "DD-WRT - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DD-WRT :: "Hack Attack: 14:30
magespawnyup thats it.14:31
Kilosfound a thingie in synaptic called pessulus you can look at.14:33
Kiloslockdown editor for gnome14:34
Kiloscan do things i dont understand14:34
Kiloshehe14:34
magespawnhaving a look now15:23
superflyafternoon magespawn15:25
magespawnhi superfly15:25
magespawnKilos looks like it stops ppl from changing things on the machine, virtually all can be locked.15:26
magespawnmight also be useful for use with my kids, they have a tendency to randomly change things.15:27
magespawnthere  is probable a more powerful may to do it using the terminal15:28
Kiloslol15:28
magespawni was looking more for software to control the billing of the internet usage, a plus would a way to bill wifi and printing.15:30
magespawnthere are plenty of pay options, but most of the usually require a monthly sub.15:30
magespawni plan to put up an external antenna so that people can access the wifi from other places15:31
superflymagespawn: don't be scared to pay for something... there are plenty of times when the open source solutions are not at the same level as the commercial solutions15:33
magespawnnot scared to pay for things just do not have the money available at the moment. had to move premises and various other problems.15:37
magespawnif there is not a free open version that is good will definitely go the paid root.15:44
magespawngood night all16:12
