esinwould following these instructions http://www.pendrivelinux.com/installing-ubuntu-to-a-usb-hard-drive/ delete everything that is already on my external hard drive?01:43
holsteinesin: what are you wanting to do?01:43
esini want to install ubuntu on my external hard drive01:44
holsteinesin: 'guided using entire disk' wipes data01:44
holsteinyou can shrink and use the empty space01:44
holsteinyou can do lots of things with the alternate installer disc01:44
holsteinwhat i like to do... install to external media like USB sticks, and just install grub right on them... you could have an existing partition of data, shrink that, and install beside it01:45
holsteini would *never* do any thing like that on a hard drive without having the data backed up... bad things can always happen01:46
esinok, thank you :)01:46

jalcineIs ccache worth the extra 2gb of space for compiling stuff?07:02
escottjalcine, depends... a good build system doesn't recompile unless you do something to make it think that the previous compile needs to be dumped07:07
jalcineHm, CMake does that, only recompiling source code and headers that are touched.07:07
escottjalcine, if you are regularly doing things that invalidate the timestamps on a large number of files without changing the source code then ccache is helpful07:07
jalcineHmmm.07:08
escottjalcine, of if you are building the same project in multiple folders07:08
escottit was really helpful for gentoo because you regularly rebuild stuff (and it has some network parallelization features)07:08
escottotherwise its probably not worth it, but it might be in some cases07:09
jalcineHm. Thanks escott07:09
