DigiGramgood morning07:27
DigiGram go 8ta, service is much better, even the customer care peeps are more efficient --> 07:27
DigiGramlast time we asked when 8ta will have coverage in Potch, the lady told us they are using the existing telephone poles, so they already have nation wide coverage07:28
DigiGramwhen asked how your cell will connect to the telephone line, she stopped and referred us to someone else lol07:28
Kerberolol07:30
Kiloslol07:31
Kiloshi DigiGram Kerbero 07:31
KilosDigiGram, when you fone them talk to the data guys07:32
Kilosthey ask where you stay and check if you have coverage there too07:32
DigiGramwell, I'm off again, going to try running Clonezilla from a USB drive, my normal bootable USB does not want to boot it... hmmm07:32
DigiGramafterwards I've talked to them, no coverage for data here yet07:33
Kilosgood luck07:33
Kilosaw07:33
Kilosthey then share withmtn as well07:33
DigiGramCell C only covered 3G here about 2 weeks ago07:33
Kilosdont you have cell coverage there07:33
Kiloswhere are you07:34
DigiGramPotchefstroom07:34
DigiGramMTN has great coverage here07:34
DigiGrameven in the basements07:34
Kilos8ta and mtn share07:34
DigiGramCell C had good GSM coverage, only introduced 3G recently though07:34
Kiloswhere they dont have their own towers07:34
Kilosroaming i think they call it07:35
DigiGramoh cool, will have a look, I want something with good coverage for my iPad07:35
DigiGramoh yes, Cell C roams with Vodacom07:35
magespawnDigiGram did you use tuxboot to ser u0 the clonezilla?07:35
Kilosya and when voda is busy the limit cellc users07:36
magespawnKilos thank you07:36
Kilosbeen there done that07:36
DigiGramCell C gave me a good contract, so I'm happy to stick it out with them07:36
Kilosnp magespawn 07:36
DigiGramYUMI from pendrivelinux.com magespawn 07:36
magespawnlet me know if it works, they reccommen tuxboot07:37
DigiGramI'll let you know, otherwise I'll try tuxboot07:37
DigiGramlet me go try it, I need to get my installation over to a new harddrive and then need to clone the system, so here goes nothing07:40
magespawngood luck07:41
DigiGramokay, so Clonezilla boots, but I think I need to google it more to actually be able to use it lol07:51
Kiloslol07:52
Kiloshi Vince-0 08:27
Vince-0Hi Kilos, always wide awake I see08:38
Kilosexcept when im sleeping08:39
Kiloshehe08:39
Vince-0do you have IRC open on a screen always?08:40
Kilosyip on its own desktop08:40
Kilosworkspace08:40
Kilosone whole workspace just for xchat08:41
DigiGrammagespawn, YUMI worked great for Clonezilla, Just the one USB drive that does not want to boot on that specific PC09:36
DigiGrama question for you guys.. with all of the DE's around, what would give a nice spinn-off between performance and looks on 1GB ram, Centrino?? LXDE is good, but can't seem to customize it much, XFCE I just don't like, Unity, well, lets leave it at that, and KDE is way to slow, and I presume after 10.10 that just got worse09:38
Kiloslol09:41
Kilos10.10 is/was great09:41
DigiGramI know the best performance will be on a newer PC, but my budget does not allow that at this moment09:41
Kiloshave you looked at lubuntu09:42
DigiGramI actually loved KDE at work, but even with the Dual core and 2GB ram it had serious lag while using the browser and stuff like that09:42
Kilosor mint09:43
DigiGramI'm using lubuntu at home for now (LXDE) but I want to try something with a bit more beauty lol09:43
DigiGramI'll try mint, maybe I must set up a quick VM to test the two mint versions and see which I like more09:43
KilosDigiGram, what connw=ection you using?09:44
Kiloswhew09:44
Kilosconnection09:44
DigiGramat home I have iBurst wireless, but here I'm on an Uncapped TENET line with this speed: http://www.speedtest.net/result/2120673249.png09:45
DigiGramand also most new distro's are cached on campus, so I can try anything09:45
Kilosif you like playing look at tinycorelinux09:46
Kilosmethinks you can customise it to suit yourself09:46
Kilosneeds cable connection to start off as you need to get everything for it09:47
Kilosthe basic gui was quite cute09:47
DigiGramwow it actually looks nice09:48
Kilosand tons of packages are up there09:48
Kiloseven xchat09:48
DigiGramI have tried puppy as well, the one based on ubuntu worked good for me, but I set it up as a PC-on-the-go on my USB drive, I prefer ubuntu at the heart of my computer09:48
Kiloslol thats why i am braving it out with unity09:49
Kilostiny is very fast09:50
DigiGramI'm still dumb with linux, so I like something I can easily google, and I love apt-get09:50
Kiloslol09:51
DigiGramtiny really looks good, I think I'll set it up in a VM, or maybe install to a USB drive09:51
Kilosthats an idea. it might even work on my 2g stick09:51
DigiGramI have on a 4GB stick AcronisAntimalwareScanCD, AVG Live CD, clonezilla, Hirens, SafeCD and Puppy Linux09:53
DigiGramit helps to have all of it in one place09:53
Kiloswhew09:53
DigiGramwith an image of the stick on my computer offcourse, IT WILL GO BAD sometime or another09:53
Kiloswhats avg live09:53
DigiGrama LiveCD virus scanner09:54
Kilosavg is antivirus09:54
Kiloshaha09:54
Kilosdont need that with linux09:54
DigiGramIn a perfect world every person might use Linux, but around here I'm the only one, and I'm the pc go to guy09:54
DigiGramso I do need it often09:54
Kilosshame09:54
Kilosavast is better than avg09:55
DigiGramit depends09:55
Kilosavg really slows a pc down09:55
DigiGramin most scenario's avast was just a blob for me... I worked at IT helpdesk on campus, so I saw lots and lots of virusses09:55
DigiGramyeah but when you use a LiveCD you do not worry about Windows that slows the PC down, as it boots in a Linux environment09:56

Squirm<Kilos> you planning on moving on Squirm <-- Kilos: I'm looking to find a job in a linux field as a sys admin. so I want to continuously move in that direction. but I guess another year won't hurt. hopefully they'll have a better contract for me in the next month :P (Only had a 1 year contract but afaik it's being renewed)10:57
