[14:50] <|Ubik|> ssh is overrated, use telnet instead :)
[15:05] <xTEMPLARx> telnet, eh?
[15:05] <xTEMPLARx> manually encrypt everything and copy/paste?
[19:00] <Unit193> xTEMPLARx: Double rot13 all the way!
[19:49] <bwmaker> Afternoon.
[19:51] <Unit193> Howdy.
[20:05] <bwmaker> How's it going?
[20:05] <bwmaker> This room seems quiet. :)
[20:07] <Unit193> It is a bit, but people chat every so often.
[20:07] <Unit193> Not too shabby, got a nice cup o' coffee.
[20:28] <bwmaker> I haven't been around in a while. My old nick was fastforward. I've been running IRC lately and thought I'd pop back in.
[20:28] <Unit193> Oh hey, I remember that nick, sort of!
[20:31] <bwmaker> :) I wasn't around very often.
[20:31] <Unit193> Well I have a terrible memory to boot.  wrst will show up sometime I'm sure.
[20:31] <Unit193> So, what're ye running nowdays?
[20:32] <wrst> hey bwmaker
[20:33] <wrst> Unit193: your wish is my command :)
[20:33] <Unit193> Figured it was a person, you like talking to people! :P
[20:33] <wrst> ha ha
[20:33] <wrst> don't know if I really like talking with people
[20:33] <wrst> maybe more than you Unit193?
[20:34] <Unit193> Hey!  I already saw and was social this week, what more did you want?!
[20:34] <Unit193> :P
[20:34] <bwmaker> I'm using Ubuntu MATE 14.04 today.
[20:35] <wrst> Unit193: good job
[20:35] <wrst> bwmaker: I hear that is an excellent distro
[20:36] <Unit193> It'll be official with Vivid.
[20:36] <wrst> yes
[20:36] <wrst> sounds like it will be what xubuntu used to be
[20:36]  * wrst ducks from Unit193's punch after that
[20:37] <Unit193> Ugly and hardly usable? :----D
[20:37] <bwmaker> I like it, for the most part. My home desktop is running Mint 17.1. I wanted to stop distro hopping on it and leave it alone. Mint runs great on it. I've got the XPS 13 Sputnik laptop, so I wanted to be as close to Ubuntu as possible. I know they're not entirely different, but just felt better about it being Ubuntu.
[20:44] <wrst> stop distro hopping? why would anyone want to do that? :)
[20:45] <Unit193> Because it's so much effort to correct everything the distro does wrong! :P
[20:45] <wrst> exactly Unit193 that's why I run arch :P
[20:46] <Unit193> It'd take too long to setup correctly. :P
[20:47] <wrst> Unit193: by the time you get all the stuff stripped I can have my ideal setup done
[20:47] <wrst> and I don't have to redo it every 6 months
[20:47] <wrst> unless I get bored with it like I did a few weeks ago and start from new for the fun of it
[20:48] <Unit193> I don't have to redo it, and I haven't reinstalled for a while except in VM.  You know you can install a minimal set right?  That was one of my contributions to Xubuntu. ;)
[20:48] <wrst> I have done the web install
[20:49] <wrst> but then a meta package generally pulls int all sorts of junk I don't want
[20:49] <bwmaker> The every months thing is why I switched to Mint 17, it's all based on 14.04 and new packages, updates, etc will get back ported until 16.04. No upgrading! :)
[21:09] <xTEMPLARx> oh the day I get crazy busy at work, this place explodes in conversation
[21:09] <xTEMPLARx> I see how it is
[21:11] <Unit193> :D
[21:11] <Unit193> xTEMPLARx: Come on!  Join in on the distro conversation!  Then we move on to editors, and browsers next! ;)
[21:11] <bwmaker> Woo, editors! :)
[21:13] <bwmaker> I did try openSuse and Fedora 21 for a month or so each.
[21:19] <bwmaker> Came back to Ubuntu/Mint. Just can't get away from the ease and number of deb packages.
[21:19] <Unit193> Mint. :3
[21:20] <Unit193> And yeah, I'd be stuck with Debian based too.  Pretty much only one outside of that I would consider is Arch or Arch based.
[21:33] <Unit193> Oh gosh, another Alien movie?
[23:04] <Unit193> So, just in case I didn't kill the channel dead enough, http://explosm.net/show/episode/141/step-on-a-crack :3
