[19:12] <pigna_colada> hello
[19:13] <pigna_colada> holstein good evening! are you online?
[19:14] <bodhizazen> hello pigna_colada
[19:14] <pigna_colada> hi bodhi!
[19:14] <pigna_colada> bodhi which is your fav distro?
[19:16] <bodhizazen> I mainly run Fedora these days
[19:16] <bodhizazen> or kubuntu
[19:16] <pigna_colada> can kubuntu be installed on older pc's?
[19:17] <pigna_colada> is it lighter than normal ubuntu or xubuntu?
[19:19] <bodhizazen> kubuntu runs fine on my "older" hardware
[19:19] <bodhizazen> for really old hardware, use something such as puppy
[19:19] <pigna_colada> i dont know if it must considered really old...
[19:19] <pigna_colada> its a laptop with a p4 2.0 ghz
[19:19] <pigna_colada> i have tried to run the last ubuntu on it but it doesnt work
[19:20] <bodhizazen> http://www.puppylinux.com/
[19:20] <bodhizazen> could be any number of problems
[19:20] <bodhizazen> http://www.slitaz.org/en/
[19:21] <bodhizazen> Of the 'buntus, lubuntu is lightest, I would use that
[19:22] <pigna_colada> yes holstein the other day suggested me lubuntu
[19:22] <pigna_colada> and i have installed it, but i dont like it much :(
[19:22] <pigna_colada> its too light:(
[19:22] <bodhizazen> http://www.slax.org/
[19:22] <bodhizazen> OK, well, IMO, KDE is lighter then it used to be
[19:22] <bodhizazen> IMO kde works better then Unity/gnome on old hardware
[19:22] <bodhizazen> xubuntu is another option
[19:23] <pigna_colada> i could install ubuntu but it was running very slow and the dekstop had strange effects and blocks
[19:23] <pigna_colada> holstein told me because of the 3d supportg
[19:23] <bodhizazen> http://blog.bodhizazen.net/linux/desktop-environments-ram-use/
[19:23] <pigna_colada> yes, I was looking at xubuntu and it seems "something more" than lubuntu
[19:23] <bodhizazen> yea
[19:24] <bodhizazen> bodhi is a great option- http://www.bodhilinux.com/
[19:25] <pigna_colada> also puppylinux doesnt seem so bad
[19:26] <pigna_colada> but to have more compatibility and sharing with ubuntu itself i think i have to try xubuntu
[19:26] <bodhizazen> x or kubuntu , you will do well with either
[19:27] <pigna_colada> kubuntu has more potential than xu?
[19:29] <bodhizazen> kubuntu has a little more eye candy, works well
[19:29] <bodhizazen> xubuntu has an old school feel
[19:31] <bodhizazen> gnome / unity have high requirements of your video card (3d), the 2d stuff (fall back) is slow
[20:02] <duanedesign> lubuntu is a nother light distro that is really nice
[20:02] <duanedesign> oops you alll already discussed lubuntu :)
[20:02] <duanedesign> then i would go with bodhi's suggestion xubuntu
[20:23] <pigna_colada> yes I am downloading xubuntu :)
[20:23] <pigna_colada> I have formatted the old lubuntu partitions
[20:23] <pigna_colada> and i am in a few moments proceeding in installing xu
[20:23] <pigna_colada> hoping will be the final choice
[20:23] <pigna_colada> I hope the xubuntu install is similar to ubuntu/xubuntu
[20:23] <pigna_colada> I hope the xubuntu install is similar to ubuntu/Lubuntu
[20:30] <Quillaine> My laptop (running Ubuntu 12.04 LTS) has started "freezing up" so that I have to actually hold down the power button and restart to get it to work.  Where can I find help for this problem?  (I already tried searching the forum, but no luck.)
[21:27] <bodhi_zazen> o/
