[07:36] ya and when voda is busy the limit cellc users [07:36] Kilos thank you [07:36] been there done that [07:36] Cell C gave me a good contract, so I'm happy to stick it out with them [07:36] np magespawn [07:36] YUMI from pendrivelinux.com magespawn [07:37] let me know if it works, they reccommen tuxboot [07:37] I'll let you know, otherwise I'll try tuxboot [07:40] let 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 nothing [07:41] good luck [07:51] okay, so Clonezilla boots, but I think I need to google it more to actually be able to use it lol [07:52] lol [08:27] hi Vince-0 [08:38] Hi Kilos, always wide awake I see [08:39] except when im sleeping [08:39] hehe [08:40] do you have IRC open on a screen always? [08:40] yip on its own desktop [08:40] workspace [08:41] one whole workspace just for xchat [09:36] magespawn, YUMI worked great for Clonezilla, Just the one USB drive that does not want to boot on that specific PC [09:38] a 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 worse [09:41] lol [09:41] 10.10 is/was great [09:41] I know the best performance will be on a newer PC, but my budget does not allow that at this moment [09:42] have you looked at lubuntu [09:42] I 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 that [09:43] or mint [09:43] I'm using lubuntu at home for now (LXDE) but I want to try something with a bit more beauty lol [09:43] I'll try mint, maybe I must set up a quick VM to test the two mint versions and see which I like more [09:44] DigiGram, what connw=ection you using? [09:44] whew [09:44] connection [09:45] at home I have iBurst wireless, but here I'm on an Uncapped TENET line with this speed: http://www.speedtest.net/result/2120673249.png [09:45] and also most new distro's are cached on campus, so I can try anything [09:46] if you like playing look at tinycorelinux [09:46] methinks you can customise it to suit yourself [09:47] needs cable connection to start off as you need to get everything for it [09:47] the basic gui was quite cute [09:48] wow it actually looks nice [09:48] and tons of packages are up there [09:48] even xchat [09:48] I 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 computer [09:49] lol thats why i am braving it out with unity [09:50] tiny is very fast [09:50] I'm still dumb with linux, so I like something I can easily google, and I love apt-get [09:51] lol [09:51] tiny really looks good, I think I'll set it up in a VM, or maybe install to a USB drive [09:51] thats an idea. it might even work on my 2g stick [09:53] I have on a 4GB stick AcronisAntimalwareScanCD, AVG Live CD, clonezilla, Hirens, SafeCD and Puppy Linux [09:53] it helps to have all of it in one place [09:53] whew [09:53] with an image of the stick on my computer offcourse, IT WILL GO BAD sometime or another [09:53] whats avg live [09:54] a LiveCD virus scanner [09:54] avg is antivirus [09:54] haha [09:54] dont need that with linux [09:54] In a perfect world every person might use Linux, but around here I'm the only one, and I'm the pc go to guy [09:54] so I do need it often [09:54] shame [09:55] avast is better than avg [09:55] it depends [09:55] avg really slows a pc down [09:55] in most scenario's avast was just a blob for me... I worked at IT helpdesk on campus, so I saw lots and lots of virusses [09:56] yeah but when you use a LiveCD you do not worry about Windows that slows the PC down, as it boots in a Linux environment [09:56] ah [10:17] hi aquarat [10:26] Hi kilos :-) [10:32] too much backlog to read. Kilos you're being noisy again :-P [10:32] ai sorry superfly [10:33] * Kilos sulks inna corner [10:37] dammit [10:37] 4th bird my dog has killed this morning [10:38] feed him [10:42] lol [10:42] she doesnt wanna eat them [10:42] she just wants to chase anything that moves [10:42] birds, grasshoppers, moths, if its smaller than her, and it moves, its there to be hunted [10:42] and she's scarily good at it [10:42] :p [10:43] lol [10:44] heh I watched her take out a bird this morning before I could stop her, she goes into this kinda leopard crawl pose and stalks the damn birds with infinite patience [10:44] till she is close enough and then wham, dead bird [10:44] and holy hell she's fast [10:45] get a big pot and make wild bird soup for her supper [10:57] 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) [10:58] ah [11:03] thanks DigiGram nice to know it works with others too.
