yanoMarkDude: how are you doing?19:39
MarkDudeUbuntu Ohio- one of the channels I can use *grownup words*19:39
* MarkDude has been scolded for using such words19:40
MarkDude:D19:40
MarkDudeAnother day in paradise- (Im in Nor Cal19:41
yanolol19:42
MarkDudeUbuntu Cali is such a dead channel recently.19:44
MarkDudeAnyone here using Raspberry Pi?19:46
paultagjawohl19:47
* MarkDude is on a mission with it to teach arm to folks- as well as love of tech19:47
* MarkDude is also curious if folks here are doing Ubuntu Hours?19:50
Unit193I've thought about it, but don't think it's powerful enough for what I'd want. :P19:52
MarkDudeTrue20:18
MarkDudeThe later small arm devices are better suited- The Pi lacks uptime of months in most cases20:19
MarkDudeFor teaching kids that Python does awesome things for Minecraft- its perfect and affordable20:19
MarkDudeA few weeks ago- my nephew was amazed at what Python did - and to be honest - was more impressed than with ANYTHING I have ever done ever20:20
MarkDudehttp://www.uncuartotech.com/ is in SF, they are teaching classes with Makey Makey and other methods to get kids interested in tech20:21
jenni[ 14 TECH - Home ] - https://j.mp/141RDIx20:21
Unit193Ouch, "python" and "awesome" in the same sentance.20:33
MarkDudeWell yes- as well as very impressed nephew. I was able to hear him bragging about this to his cousin no less20:38
MarkDudehttp://www.stuffaboutcode.com/2013/02/raspberry-pi-minecraft-analogue-clock.html20:40
jenni[ <Stuff about="code" />: Raspberry Pi - Minecraft - Analogue Clock ] - https://j.mp/141UnFI20:40
Unit193Basically, I want something that I can put atop the router and have it always running. :P   I'm not really huge on MineCraft, but my cousin does it.20:41
Unit193(Two, at least.)20:41
MarkDudeBeagle Board Black looks like it MAY fit that need Unit19320:43
MarkDudeMore tests will be done- should be able to know for sure by next month IMHO20:44
* thafreak has 3 raspberry pi's...thinking about getting a beagle bone black too...21:07
thafreakone sits  next to the router, and keeps my irssi running, along with having ansible and git, tmux, vim, etc on it for a devops play ground21:08
thafreakanother sits on my desk with an actual monitor connected to it for always on simple desktop...21:09
thafreakmostly where I run terms to ssh into the other one :)21:09
thafreakand the third is in a box now...it was running xbmc on the tv in the living room, but we moved the tv, and I haven't put it back21:10
thafreakbut I bet the beagle bone would make a much better always on desktop21:10
thafreakyou know, for when the "oh sh*t, a server's down, i need to ssh somewhere to see what's up" moments happen...21:11
MarkDudeIts PERFECT for ssh quick21:13
MarkDudeAlso retro gaming, even a fair amount of pentesting fun21:13
thafreakyeah, i heard they ported backtrack to it21:13
thafreaker, made an sd card image...21:13
thafreakdon't think anything needed ported really...21:14
MarkDudehttp://resources.infosecinstitute.com/pentesting-distributions-and-installer-kits-for-your-raspberry-pi/21:21
jenni[ Pentesting Distributions and Installer Kits for your Raspberry Pi ] - https://j.mp/1420DNK21:21
MarkDudeNice list- they use it at local ITT Tech school - they have pwned some staff there - that used to say the Pi was useless21:22
MarkDudeYou just got hacked by useless hardware, has your opinion changed? The instructors there are great, and have some great humor21:22
Unit193thafreak: BackTrack is Kali now.  Backbox looks interesting, but pretty sure doesn't have the features of BackTrack.21:26
MarkDudeKali looks awesome- I downloaded it but have not tried it yet21:27
Unit193Gnome, so meh.21:27
MarkDudeWell21:27
MarkDudeI agree there21:27
* MarkDude has been chastised within Fedora Project for talking about how much Gnome sucks21:28
MarkDudeLots and lots21:28
Unit193Hah, thought you were one that liked it, personally I'd take Xfce, fluxbox or openbox.21:28
Unit193MarkDude: Good for you.21:28
MarkDudeWell I can use anything if need be for testing and fun21:28
* MarkDude 's favorite Linux is Puppy21:28
MarkDudeOpenbox ftw21:29
MarkDudeKde is decent, and most of my time is now there- MATE has minimal suckage too21:29
MarkDudeXFCE is STILL this: constant questions from friends of "where did my startbar go?"21:30
MarkDudeI can see the desktop- but only have right click21:30
* MarkDude has always assumed the disappearing desktop was a feature XD21:31
Unit193Not happened to me, or at least I have no idea what you're talking about.21:32
Unit193It being Fedora, guessing it's up to date.21:32
Unit193KDE is a bit heavy, but not bad.  Gnome just really isn't my thing. ;P21:37
MarkDudeAgreed21:38
MarkDudeAnd most of my XFCE has been done with Ubuntu- Mint21:39
MarkDudeAltho- I have seen it on Fedora too- the desktop leaves- the best way to shut it down is open a terminal (with hotkeys) and sudo poweroff21:40
MarkDudeDeal breaker for giving to new users21:40
Unit193Weird...21:40
MarkDuderight click always works in Puppy options21:40
MarkDudeMostly happens with funky drivers on laptops21:40
MarkDudehave never seen it on desktop21:41
Unit193I have my graphics crap out on me, but netbook takes Xfce well. :P21:41
MarkDudeXFCE is not bad, just failed in most my tests.21:41
MarkDudePuppy for the win21:42
Unit193AntiX.21:42
MarkDudeTIL- apt is supported for Fedora http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Tools/Apt21:43
