[00:02] <PCLine_> I hope it doesnt reformat my drive!  I just typed it.
[00:03] <andygraybeal> hahahah
[00:03] <andygraybeal> well, your familiar with cat right?
[00:03] <andygraybeal> it reverses the output
[00:05] <andygraybeal> if you aren't familiar with cat.. it means concatenate.. which means to jam crap together.  but it is what i've primarily used to output stuff to the screen long before i learned of more or less.
[00:05] <PCLine_> Yep  I know cat
[00:05] <andygraybeal> cool
[00:06] <PCLine_> now that I have Ubuntu running in a VirtualPC I can now learn more.
[00:06] <andygraybeal> i don't mean to sound patronizing.. i'm being genuine.
[00:07] <PCLine_> All is good.
[00:08] <PCLine_> I have some much to learn.  I know just what I needed to load and setup a few apps.
[00:08] <andygraybeal> it's a rabbit hole for sure
[00:09] <andygraybeal> i'm assuming you just started then :)  well welome :)  i'm happy to meet you and glad you started.
[00:09] <andygraybeal> i started back when novell 3 was awesome and learned to migrate people to novell 4.....
[00:10] <PCLine_> I found a program called Observium and didnt want to run it in windows.
[00:10] <andygraybeal> when irq's meant something and upper memory was controlled with microswitches on some devices.
[00:11] <PCLine_> I then found HyperV and learned to install Ubuntu within the VirtualPC.
[00:11] <andygraybeal> dip swithcs :)
[00:11] <andygraybeal> nice
[00:12] <PCLine_> I can remember Novell 3.11
[00:12] <andygraybeal> nice!!!
[00:12] <andygraybeal> that's the one
[00:12] <andygraybeal> we must be the same age, i'm 36
[00:13] <PCLine_> I am a little older than you.
[00:14] <andygraybeal> ah cool then
[00:16] <andygraybeal> you played with cygwin ?
[00:16] <andygraybeal> having the gnu command inside of windows?
[00:16] <andygraybeal> *commands
[00:17] <PCLine_> I did once.   My system didnt like it.
[00:18] <PCLine_> I think I used it with an Eggdrop bot.
[00:18] <andygraybeal> i use it anytime i encounter a windows machine :)
[00:22] <PCLine_> I dont run into Linux much.  But it seems like the monitoring and logging programs are better in Linux than in Windows.
[00:45] <andygraybeal> sleep
[00:45] <andygraybeal> night
[00:45] <PCLine_> nite - good luck with your studies.
[15:59] <andygraybeal> when you go to the /etc directory.. do you guys in your mind say 'etcetera' or do you say 'et cee' ?
