|---|---|---|
| wrst | haha cool | 01:41 |

| binarymutant | whoa & weird http://perllinux.sourceforge.net/ | 05:06 |
| wrst | netsplits! yeah! | 14:29 |
| wrst | binarymutant: i think i have found some happy middle ground for a while | 15:27 |
| binarymutant | wrst: what kind of middle ground? | 16:07 |
| wrst | doing the ubuntu net install lots of control but still have some of the ubuntu goodness | 16:13 |
| binarymutant | thats good | 16:14 |
| wrst | yeah a very nice setup i am finding | 17:02 |
| wrst | i just fear arch is going to blow up at me and laugh over the next few months | 17:02 |
| binarymutant | lol | 17:05 |
| binarymutant | if it was going to blow up it would have been during the /lib move | 17:07 |
| wrst | probably so but it was working so well it was boring | 17:11 |
| wrst | so it was either this or gentoo | 17:11 |
| binarymutant | idk about gentoo | 17:11 |
| binarymutant | although I do use aur to compile a lot.. | 17:11 |
| wrst | yeah i mean i'm all for banging my head agianst the wall for a while but not for days :) | 17:11 |
| wrst | i may try gentoo in a vm sometime | 17:12 |
| binarymutant | it might be cool | 17:13 |
| wrst | yeah thats how i started with arch | 17:21 |
| wrst | guess i could leave a vm compiling for days :) | 17:21 |
| netritious | upgrading my venerated dual PIII 1.0GHz w/2GB DDR from hardy server to lucid. | 18:44 |
| * netritious crosses his fingers | 18:44 | |
| netritious | and TGIF everybody :) forgot to say herro | 18:49 |
| wrst | hey hey netritious | 18:55 |
| netritious | how's it going wrst? | 18:55 |
| wrst | good netritious, you? | 18:56 |
| netritious | watching the screen flash at me Selecting, Unpacking, Preparing | 18:57 |
| netritious | waiting on prompts | 18:57 |
| wrst | netritious: i went and did a minmal ubuntu install i'm pretty fond of it | 19:03 |
| netritious | wrst: this is an upgrade on a machine that wouldn't take lucid when it came out, so not holding my breath | 19:04 |
| wrst | hmm that should be interesting | 19:05 |
| Unit193 | Mini+openbox! :D | 19:05 |
| wrst | Unit193: i went big mini+ gnome shell but no unity | 19:05 |
| Unit193 | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1779564 ? | 19:05 |
| netritious | hey Unit193 | 19:11 |
| Unit193 | Doing my part, trolling and such... :P | 19:12 |
| Unit193 | Herro. | 19:12 |
| netritious | wrst: this machine will be retired soon...maybe this year or next. | 19:12 |
| wrst | Unit193: as long as we do our part | 19:12 |
| wrst | PIII netritious, that should have 15 more years left in it :) | 19:14 |
| wrst | Unit193: that's interesting was that a loco starting that effort? | 19:16 |
| Unit193 | Yeah, mine. Didn't end up really going anywhere as they got a tad busy. | 19:18 |
| wrst | well that does happen | 19:25 |
| netritious | wrst: *Dual PIII* so another 25-30 maybe XD | 19:26 |
| wrst | you bet, maybe 40! | 19:28 |
| netritious | haha maybe. I've seen some pretty ancient things running long after they shouldn't be anymore. | 19:29 |
| Unit193 | I have a 120MHz, 70+Ram!! | 19:32 |
| netritious | here we go... | 19:33 |

| Unit193 | -/+ buffers/cache: 553 15400 | 19:34 |
| netritious | upgrade looks good \o/ | 19:36 |
| netritious | no funky errors on boot | 19:36 |
| wrst | awesome netritious | 20:16 |
| wrst | 50 years now! | 20:16 |
| wrst | and netritious to answer your facebook status go for it :) | 20:18 |
| netritious | nah, just half tempted wrst lol | 20:19 |
| wrst | ha ha | 20:19 |
| wrst | i wouldn't press my luck today, maybe tomorrow | 20:19 |
| wrst | :) | 20:19 |
| netritious | I was thinking of waiting a couple of years >.> | 20:20 |
| wrst | ha ha well you could do that i guess | 20:22 |
| wrst | i have had much success with 12.04 on my little server | 20:22 |
| netritious | it's not the OS I'm as worried about as the hardware. | 20:23 |
| netritious | when 10.04 came out I tried and tried to get it on this exact machine with no success. | 20:23 |
| netritious | even trying to upgrade like I just did wouldn't work. | 20:24 |
| netritious | *as much as the hardware | 20:24 |
| wrst | hmm weird | 20:25 |
| wrst | is 8.04 out of support this coming april? | 20:25 |
| netritious | not really...the mobo is somewhat proprietary | 20:25 |
| netritious | yep | 20:26 |
| netritious | the mobo is from an old supermicro 1U server with SCSI U160. | 20:26 |
| netritious | i have to boot to IDE to get access to the SATA drives plugged into a PCI slot adapter card. | 20:27 |
| netritious | *adapter card in a PCI slot | 20:28 |
| chris4585 | o.O | 20:44 |
| wrst | oh me netritious i would not have known what to do and built a fire with that :) | 20:47 |
| netritious | yeah chris4585 it's ancient | 21:00 |
| netritious | about anything worth upgrading has been upgraded though | 21:01 |
| netritious | PCI USB2.0, PCI 10/100/1000 NIC, 2x PCI SATA II x4 port (8 ports total) | 21:02 |
| chris4585 | I have an ancient computer that had win95 on it... I think a whopping 166mhz cpu with 24mbs of ram | 21:03 |
| chris4585 | surprisingly I can get dsl linux somewhat work with it, but its more of a novelty | 21:04 |
| netritious | I have a TRS80 in the shed XD | 21:04 |
| chris4585 | I think that is before my time lol | 21:07 |
| netritious | that's cool you can get linux to run on that chris4585, even if it isn't practical. | 21:08 |
| chris4585 | lol yeah, it was actually a challenge because I had to use a disk to install which was somewhat annoying because some distros could do a way better job but couldn't handle that little of ram from a livecd | 21:09 |
| netritious | lol | 21:10 |
| netritious | i installed debian on an old adpatec snap server (network attached storage device) just to see if I could get linux on it lol | 21:11 |
| chris4585 | fun, I like trying to push the limits on older hardware | 21:12 |
| chris4585 | or doing frankenstein things | 21:12 |
| netritious | this was fun b/c the thing was uber proprietary. I was surprised I could get anything on it at all that wasn't specifically built to run on it. | 21:12 |
| chris4585 | yeah | 21:15 |
| netritious | my real introduction to 'libre' unix and then linux was from a guy that I gave an old HP desktop that had a P200, 64MB, 4GB hdd to for running his forum using FreeBSD... | 21:16 |
| netritious | wanna say back in 2001. | 21:16 |
| netritious | which was an upgrade from his P120, 24MB, 1GB hdd system | 21:17 |
| chris4585 | I wish I got into computers when I was younger, I didn't really have much experience until I was like 13 | 21:18 |
| netritious | nothign wrong with that. 13 is a good age to get into something besides all the stuff you shouldn't be getting into at age 13. :P | 21:19 |
| netritious | *nothing | 21:20 |
| netritious | lol lspci says: VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Rage XL AGP 2X (rev 27) | 21:38 |
