[01:25] <netritious> wrst: moaning on a mailing list is probably the least bothersome thing you can do on the interwebs
[01:25] <wrst> well I need to find something more bothersome then :)
[01:25] <netritious> :)
[01:26] <wrst> right now I am exploring the world of creating an Arch package, or not creating but maintaining one at least
[01:27] <netritious> right now I'm pretty certain I've found the components for my pfsense boxl, although only three rj-45 and $100 over budget.
[01:27]  * Unit193 does Debian packages! :D
[01:27] <netritious> oh and realtek nics...still, it's not to shabby
[01:27] <Unit193> I need to stop.
[01:28] <netritious> Unit193: where were you when I needed help packaging snort? :D
[01:28] <Unit193> Hiding?  Drinking coffee?  Making snarky comments?
[01:28] <netritious> all of the above?
[01:28] <Unit193> Likely.
[01:30] <netritious> I'm looking at somewhere between 20-30W, +/- 5W.
[01:32] <netritious> **on the firewall

[01:35] <wrst> Unit193: arch packages especially in the AUR is more a script borderline hack
[01:35] <Unit193> Yep.
[01:35] <wrst> nice netritious :)
[01:36] <wrst> of course arch is just a borderline hack too :)
[01:36] <netritious> arch is neat
[01:36] <netritious> I wish I had more time for it
[01:36] <wrst> well once its setup you really don't need time for it
[01:36] <wrst> love it on my laptop, but... wouldn't dare set it up for someone else to use, or use on a server, etc
[01:39]  * wrst flashes his router... nothing can go wrong here...
[01:40] <netritious> no, I mean I just don't have time for it. I've already compressed a new ubuntu setup to a few minutes.
[01:41] <wrst> ha ha undertsand completely
[01:42] <netritious> I guess I could setup arch and just clone that, but why? I just don't need (or want) bleeding edge.
[01:43] <netritious> I have quite a bit of ancient tech lying around to...would arch install on an old toshiba laptop? like PIII era? I will try if it does :)
[01:44] <netritious> I think it's about a twelve year old laptop
[01:44] <wrst> well I'm sure its possible, but not worth it when you can run debian with a 486 kernel and probably work much better :)
[01:45] <wrst> well you may not need that kernel but I have before and makes a huge difference having something like debian to go to
[01:46] <wrst> and flashed my router the wrong way, via wifi, didn't back it up (very stupid) and it all worked
