| netritious | wrst: IKR? Was so swamped yesterday. Didn't get home till 9pm. | 14:58 |
|---|---|---|
| wrst | ha ha that's busy :\ | 14:58 |
| wrst | but good to be busy when you are in bidness ;) | 14:58 |
| netritious | heh yeah, although bidness could be better. | 14:59 |
| wrst | way things are right now its good to still be in bidness I suppose | 14:59 |
| netritious | true, although I am constantly looking out for the "right job"...the full time variety. Unfortunately with no certs, no degree, and a wide skill set, hard to land one. :/ | 15:00 |
| wrst | experience to me speaks louder than all the other junk | 15:01 |
| wrst | not just in tech but life in general | 15:01 |
| netritious | While I agree with you, the powers that be don't seem to think so. | 15:01 |
| wrst | nope | 15:01 |
| wrst | exactly and thus is a lot of problem in society | 15:02 |
| netritious | I've had some decent offers, but I don't want to live in Cali. | 15:02 |
| wrst | not to mention witht he government | 15:02 |
| wrst | ugh | 15:02 |
| netritious | Yeah, I like trees, and lots of them. Palms don't count IMHO lol | 15:03 |
| netritious | although I've always wanted to visit the redwood forests in Cali....those are some amazing trees. | 15:04 |
| netritious | it's said some are 1,000's of years old. | 15:05 |
| tenc | What is the difference between Ubuntu and Xubuntu? Are the differences isolated to desktop and prepackaged software? Are there core differences beyond that? | 16:14 |
| wrst | tenc: they are both built on the ubuntu base, in order to be an official flavor that is a requirement so yes the desktop is the only difference all the packages that are available in one is available in the other, just different defaults selected | 16:24 |
| wrst | tenc: I was going to check my statement with Unit193 as he is expert on such things but he has left | 16:24 |
| tenc | Nice, thanks wrst. I thought so (someone in #Xubuntu confirmed that too). | 16:24 |
| wrst | and netritious I would like to see the redwoods also | 16:24 |
| wrst | ahh good tenc, and if you have any xubuntu specific stuff Unit193 is the man on that he knows it inside and out | 16:25 |
| wrst | wb tenc | 17:54 |
| tenc | thx | 18:04 |
| wrst | tenc: do you run xubuntu | 18:04 |
| tenc | I've been playing with it on my laptop but I stick with unity on my desktop. | 18:06 |
| wrst | I know many that run it are pretty happy with it, and xubuntu does a good job of making it look nice | 18:06 |
| tenc | For sure, although for someone relatively new to Linux like me it doesn't reveal it's workflow right away. Maybe with time I'll come to like it more. | 18:08 |
| tenc | The customization is extensive. | 18:09 |
| tenc | How about you wrst? | 18:09 |
| wrst | I use KDE on Arch linux | 18:10 |
| wrst | on the desktop and run arch on a couple of raspberry pi's and debian on any server I mess with | 18:10 |
| wrst | I tinker a lot :) | 18:10 |
| tenc | Tinkering is great and by extension systems that avail themselves to it. | 18:11 |
| wrst | yes and of course for me book if it really needs to work debian is the way to go | 18:12 |
| wrst | but if you are just coming from windows? ubuntu opens up a lot of options and unity too, not to mention all the desktop options | 18:13 |
| tenc | Yeah, Windows from way back. Ubuntu was the easiest way in. | 18:16 |
| wrst | certainly | 18:17 |
| wrst | I started out with Mandriva way back in the day before ubuntu was as polished and easy | 18:17 |
| wrst | the thing I found was that pretty much if you want to do it you can do it with linux in some form or another and its a great learning experience to boot | 18:19 |
| tenc | ++learning; I've found the same so far. What are you doing with your pis? | 18:22 |
| wrst | I have one working as a print server for my parents | 18:23 |
| wrst | I have used one for xbmc, its now working as a desktop for the rare occassion I need it | 18:23 |
| wrst | I have one that I use just for ssh to my home network they are so cheap and low powered | 18:24 |
| wrst | oh the one I use for ssh I also use it for a backup device I have an external hard drive hooked to it | 18:24 |
| tenc | That's great. ^^ | 18:25 |
| wrst | I'm a little anal on backups I have a freenas machine for all our media stuff, pictures home movies misuc etc etc | 18:26 |
| wrst | so I back some of it up locally and all of it through crashplan | 18:26 |
| wrst | Unit193: about time you get back | 18:37 |
| wrst | or not | 18:37 |
| wrst | Unit193: about time you get back... hopefully | 18:37 |
| Unit193 | wrst: Yeah, stupid stuff... | 18:38 |
| wrst | well you missed me singing the praises of xubuntu to tenc, you should be proud | 18:39 |
| Unit193 | Dang. :P | 18:40 |
| tenc | ^^ | 18:42 |
| wrst | don't worry I didn't take it too far | 18:42 |
