adomhey marcoceppi, I was wondering something...you mentioned how Ubuntu likes you Canonical employees to use the latest distros, do they also prefer you to use Unity?16:23
adomLike, if you decided to use cairo-dock or fluxbox or something else, would they be unhappy?16:24
adomjust curious16:24
marcoceppiadom: we're "mandated" to use the latest development release, but we can use whatever operating system/DE we like. I know a few who run KDE and others who customize everything16:25
marcoceppiit depends on the team you're on. The desktop/community team area almost always running unit/ubuntu+1 from the get go. Typically around beta1/beta2 most of the other tech teams move to saucy to provide feedback and testing16:26
adomyou're supposed to use the latest dev release, but you can use a different OS? don't think I understand your wording. could you clarify?16:27
adomplease and thanks16:27
marcoceppiadom: check pm16:48
adomgot it thanks16:58

ChinnoDogWhat is the cheapest Ubuntu laptop out there? I got the IT guy at work interested in Ubuntu today while showing him how to issue the secure erase command on a hard disk. He commented that it must require special hardware, to which my response that commodity hardware usually works best didn't seem to help much.23:49
ChinnoDogWould be cool if I could point noobs to a cheap piece of hardware for learning Ubuntu.23:49
