[14:55] <lesser_panda> Morning all, anyone around?
[14:56]  * hrnz is here
[14:56] <lesser_panda> I had a non-support question...
[14:57] <lesser_panda> Long story short I recently installed 12.04 LTS onto a slightly older laptop and, after getting a good handle on the basics, I've developed a keen curiosity for using the terminal and more "involved" uses of Ubuntu for a lack of a better term.
