zerefhmmmm, will look into that20:12
magespawnWell then other people like kbmonkey can also have a look, he knows a 'bit' more than i do.20:14
charlvngithub has become the new programming cult - it used to be SF, then Google Code and now GH20:15
magespawnAnyone wouod work, I thought SF was only for hosting.20:17
magespawnWould20:17
zerefhmmm20:18
charlvnSF also has version control20:21
charlvnbut they are good for large downloads like virtual machine images or isos20:21
charlvnbecause they have various mirrors around the world20:22
charlvnthat's not the case with github20:22
charlvni used to have a bunch of OVA packages up on there, 12GB in total20:22
charlvnbut they got outdated and i discontinued the project a few months ago20:22
magespawnRight20:22
zerefmagespawn: will send on sunday20:22
magespawnCool zeref20:22
charlvnit can take a few days though to get it onto mirrors if the file is a couple of GB large, i found20:23
charlvnbut eventually it will sync20:23
magespawncharlvn what were you working on?20:35
charlvna project to make available ova packages of various popular linux distributions20:36
charlvnthere are other similar projects now though20:36

bakumanbeen running it from alpha21:30
zereftumbleweed: how is it, easy to learn? powerfull?21:30
tumbleweedpretty easy, pretty powerful21:30
bakumanand more stable than 11.1021:31
nlsthzn+121:32
bakumanI am waiting to see if Ubuntu keeps the boost in ratings it got on distrowatch.21:35
zerefsince unity has matured, i think that people will come back to ubuntu and leave mint :whistle:21:36
bakumanonly time will tell21:36
zerefI wonder how many users are using Mate or cinnamon21:37
nlsthznenough people know about Ubuntu not to use Distrowatch to get it21:37
bakumanthat is true as well21:37
bakumanthere are also dvd's given out21:38
