[03:46] <r00tintheb0x> I've been experimenting with different desktop enviroments on a Gnome Ubuntu install, I've settled on LUbuntu. Is there a way to remove the others without borquing the install?
[03:47] <nannes> r00tintheb0x: I think it would be much better to directly reinstall Lubuntu, now that you've settled with lxde
[03:47] <r00tintheb0x> Okay nannes , I thought the same. I've got like, six desktop enviroments on it. Hehe.
[03:47] <r00tintheb0x> Thanks nannes . :)
[03:47] <nannes> The reason is: experimenting means installing many things, creating many config files etc.
[03:48] <nannes> it messes things up too much
[03:48] <nannes> Yeah, I'm happy you think the same :)
[03:48] <r00tintheb0x> nannes, not lookin forward to reinstalling wine, etc... for the 23905973th thousand time.
[03:48] <nannes> uhh
[03:48] <nannes> well, there's an anthidot for that
[03:48] <r00tintheb0x> :) Yeah, I've noticed that it isn't quite rite when you rip it down and build it up.
[03:48] <nannes> you can take the config files for all the most important programs
[03:49] <r00tintheb0x> On nannes ?
[03:49] <r00tintheb0x> Oh man, I can reinstall it.. doesn't take that long. I seemed to have lost 4 USB drives anyway.. I'm down to 1 1G.
[03:50] <nannes> I mean, pidgin for example. thunderbird. firefox
[03:50] <nannes> I mean, the most boring-to-config programs have specific locations where to save configs
[03:50] <r00tintheb0x> I use chrome and it syncs. I know what you mean though.
[03:51] <nannes> ok :))
[03:51] <r00tintheb0x> Ty though, :)
[03:51] <nannes> yw... happy that mor eand more people is appreciating lubuntu as much as me
[03:51] <r00tintheb0x> It's amazing how much quicker lubuntu is than the other alt's.
[03:51] <nannes> s/is/are
[03:51] <nannes> yeah :D XD
[03:51] <r00tintheb0x> Right.
[03:51] <r00tintheb0x> :)
[03:51] <r00tintheb0x> I started on Slackware 7.
[03:51] <r00tintheb0x> Linux Desktop's have come a long way.
[03:52] <nannes> y, and there's much more to come I hope :))
[03:52] <r00tintheb0x> Most definitely, I may get into developing soon.
[03:53] <r00tintheb0x> I've been a UNIX Sysadmin for about 10 years.
[03:53] <r00tintheb0x> Time to flip to development.
[03:53] <ianorlin> http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purelubuntu
[03:53] <nannes> great! Yeah, Good luck with it! :D
[03:53]  * r00tintheb0x looks @ ianorlin 's link.
[03:53] <ianorlin> is how to switch back to only lubuntu
[03:54] <r00tintheb0x> Exxxxcellent... let me check that out before I nuke.
[03:54] <ianorlin> although after you paste if you want to keep a package you can use backspace to not remove it
[03:55] <r00tintheb0x> Okay ianorlin , I think i'll get it to default then build back up.
[03:56] <r00tintheb0x> ianorlin, I have gnome, mate, xfce, xubuntu and cinnamon installed though.
[03:57] <r00tintheb0x> brb, I'm just going to nuke it. thanks gents.
[04:24] <r00tintheb0x> Schweet, nice and clean now.
[04:25] <r00tintheb0x> NOW, to quit distro/desktop hopping. I've had a bad habbit about that, I get bored quickly.
