[00:03] <[1]DogOfWar> Bad news...still too big!
[00:04] <[1]DogOfWar> I'm going to try the USB drive angle and see if it will offer to boot if one is installed...

[13:51] <Sidewinder> Mornin' duanedesign
[13:53] <duanedesign> hi
[13:53] <duanedesign> how is Sidewinder today?
[13:54] <Sidewinder> Just fine, thank you; and you?
[14:05] <duanedesign> I am doing good
[14:05] <duanedesign> Sidewinder: forget my poor memory. You been hanging in the channel long?
[14:08] <Sidewinder> A couple of years or so, I guess; I'm not exceedingly active, nor exceedingly knowledgeable,  but I do like to give back to the community when I'm able.. :)
[14:10] <duanedesign> that is awesome
[14:11] <duanedesign> Sidewinder: that is what it is all about giving back when you can
[14:11] <duanedesign> Sidewinder: this channel needs plenty of helpers
[14:12] <smartboyhw> Sidewinder, wow
[14:13] <duanedesign> even if you do not know the answer get used to using google and finding answrs on the ubuntuforums, AskUbuntu, linux queations,org, etc
[14:14] <duanedesign> oh and the wiki is a good resource. Also a great way to contribute (update articles, create new ones)
[14:15] <duanedesign> Sidewinder: sorry if i am filling you w/ knowledge you already know
[14:16] <duanedesign> Sidewinder: we would also love to have yo on our 'oficial' team Ubuntu Beginners Team
[14:16] <Sidewinder> BRB, phone..
[14:16] <duanedesign> kk
[14:45] <Sidewinder> Back.. :)
[14:50] <Sidewinder> And yes, duanedesign, I am aware and have used most of the resources that you've kindly listed, above. My main limitation is the fact that my main machine is somewhat of an "antique", {Dell Dimension 4550, circa anout 2003} and is currently maxed out in terms of RAM, video RAM, single processor, etc. I there fore an still running 10.04; am totally satisfied with it but also, realize that I've only got about 5 months to 12.04.
[14:51] <Sidewinder> I am running 12.04 on my other machine, about a foot and a half, to my left. ;-)
[14:52] <duanedesign> :)
[14:53] <Sidewinder> The upshot of all of that is that I'm much more of an "expert", {if I may be so bold as to use that moniker, heh,} with 10.04 and most folks are not using that version anymore so there few questions regarding it. I do assist when and where I can, though. ;-)
[14:57] <Sidewinder> I am currently in the process of learning everything that I can regarding openVPN; I'm hoping to install it in the next few days and pray that it's not to difficult to configure and get up and running. I am aware that there is an #openvpn channel, but it doesn't seem to be too terribly active. Hopefully I won't need it. :)
[14:59] <Sidewinder> I'm currently on a home network with the rest of my family; unfortunately, they're all windows folks although I have managed to get my youngest son {21} to at least try ubuntu..
[15:00] <Sidewinder> He likes it but still uses "7" as his primary OS; nor does he live at home, he's off at college.
