[14:08] <thafreak> So how about, day two of my two day practical exam, when most of the students were getting to the part where they install a lamp server on ubuntu
[14:08] <thafreak> it ended up being ubuntu release day
[14:08] <thafreak> so doing aptitude update took like 20 minutes
[14:08] <thafreak> i should have set up a caching proxy or something...
[15:20] <canthus13> thafreak: Awesome.
[15:36] <thafreak> yup
[15:37] <thafreak> it was all like...this is so slow
[15:37] <thafreak> i was like oops, oh yeah today is new release day
[15:37] <thafreak> suck it up
[15:37] <thafreak> whiney kids...i tell you
[15:40] <dzho> gotta know how to spin it . . .
[15:40] <dzho> "oh, boy, you're doing this on RELEASE DAY!  This is *SO* exciting!  You are part of HISTORY!" ;-)
[15:50] <yano> "just think you don't have to dist-upgrade for another 2 years!"
[15:57] <jrgifford> thafreak: and why weren't you on the s3 mirrors? :)
[15:57] <thafreak> these were throw away VM's in a computer lab...
[15:58] <canthus13> thafreak: Shoulda given them a 64k leased line to work with. :)
[15:58] <jrgifford> and why didn't you set up a caching proxy? :p
[15:58] <thafreak> jrgifford: didn't think about it being release day until everyone was complaining, and then I didn't think to change mirrors
[15:59] <jrgifford> thafreak: fair enough
[15:59] <thafreak> meh, the final was a disaster anyway
[15:59] <thafreak> i tried to make large portions of it easy with scripts, so that we could do more things as part of the final
[16:00] <thafreak> but that just added complexity when things didn't work right
[16:02] <thafreak> all in all, i'm not at all happy with how this course turned out
