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