=== Fyodorovna is now known as wilee-nilee [08:08] o/ === tsimpson_ is now known as tsimpson [16:21] hello everyone I have some questions about providing support to windows PC from linux via gui [16:28] chente, This is the development channel, any ubuntu support here will basically not cover that. [16:28] oh [16:28] oops sorry the beginners channel my bad [16:28] sorry i was referred here [16:29] :) [16:29] hehe it happens [16:29] chente, YOoumight have support just describe what you are trying to do. [16:29] bad typing lol [16:30] "you might have to support"? [16:30] or an app called YOou may have support [16:31] chente, Without you describing what you need we can't help. [16:32] a client on another side of town has a windows xp/7 pc and needs computer help [16:32] Installed Ubuntu 12.04. Would like to use the GUI until I get comfortable with CLI [16:32] how do I get GUI installed? [16:33] mmills, What did you install? [16:33] i have a linux / windows xp computer which I use for remote support, can I use something as an alternative for uvnc extention (PCHelpware) to give "one click" support from linux to windows without needing THEM to configure a router? [16:33] Installed Ubunu Server 12.04 [16:34] mmills: you could try to follow this (http://www.howtogeek.com/107368/how-to-install-the-lightweight-lxde-desktop-on-ubuntu/) guie to install very fast GUI [16:35] mmills, You can install a desktop, however the purest server users suggest not doing this, personally I have never used a server only. [16:36] I will try the lxde. Thanks! [19:46] Which is the best personal finance package? Have you tried many? [19:53] yeehi: Well, there isn't exactly a "best", but gnucash is one. [20:04] thanks, Unit193. SOmebody else said HomeBank was good, too... [20:07] http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/5-free-financial-software-alternative-to-quicken/ not sure if all work on linux, but you may ask bestbot in #ubuntu-bots [20:07] !best [20:07] Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots.
