| Inspire | Hello | 03:07 |
|---|---|---|
| chilts | Inspire: there are people here who hang around usually | 03:08 |
| chilts | is it something specific you're looking for or just a general hello? | 03:08 |
| Inspire | Just a hello | 03:08 |
| chilts | (public holiday in NZ today, so less people around or online) | 03:08 |
| chilts | :) | 03:09 |
| Inspire | Am trying out different linux distos... don't like unity so far. | 03:09 |
| chilts | I use awesome as my window manager, but whilst it might not be for you, there are plenty of alternatives to Unity | 03:10 |
| chilts | might be worth trying those out too (including Gnome if that's what you like or are used to) | 03:10 |
| Inspire | awesome...ill have to uncle google that. | 03:10 |
| chilts | I mean, don't let Unity put you off | 03:10 |
| chilts | it's a tiling window manager, so it's very minimal | 03:10 |
| Inspire | true | 03:10 |
| Inspire | so you run awesome on top of ubuntu? | 03:11 |
| chilts | I have used ion3, i3 or xmonad in the past | 03:11 |
| chilts | awesome as my windown manager in Ubuntu (not really on top off - but that's just semantics) | 03:11 |
| Inspire | ok | 03:11 |
| chilts | many people like xfce as well | 03:11 |
| chilts | and of course Gnome or KDE | 03:11 |
| chilts | lots of choice :) | 03:11 |
| Inspire | so hypothetically on awesome you could watch youtube...or a movie etc? | 03:12 |
| chilts | yep | 03:12 |
| chilts | not hypothetically ... I can :) | 03:12 |
| chilts | am currently watching the snooker! | 03:12 |
| chilts | (World Championships in the UK at the moment) | 03:13 |
| Inspire | sweet | 03:13 |

| chilts | actually, tell a lie, I'm serving a static directory of mp4's to my local network and watching it on another laptop using mplayer on a bigger plugged-in screen (also running awesome) | 03:13 |
| chilts | yeah, that's awesome :) | 03:14 |
| Inspire | So I'm assuming you have deep knowledge when it comes to command line/linux | 03:14 |
| Inspire | What year did you start using it? | 03:15 |
| chilts | heh, not really ... a working knowledge or at least a passable knowledge | 03:15 |
| chilts | using what? awesome or ubuntu or linux or what? | 03:15 |
| Inspire | linux. | 03:15 |
| chilts | or the command line? | 03:15 |
| chilts | 2001 I think | 03:15 |
| chilts | that was my first install, RedHat 7.2 or 6.1 or something | 03:15 |
| chilts | perhaps it was Mandrake! | 03:15 |
| chilts | nfi | 03:15 |
| chilts | I went Linux-only (no Windows) in 2003 | 03:16 |
| chilts | oh, I guess Mandrak is now called Mandriva or something - dunno, I don't keep up | 03:17 |
| chilts | I just use Ubuntu LTS these days | 03:17 |
| Inspire | so you dont use windows at all? | 03:17 |
| Inspire | What do you do for a living? | 03:17 |
| chilts | apart from my wife's computer, no | 03:17 |
| chilts | programming / developer / whatever you want to call it these days :) | 03:18 |
| Inspire | sweet | 03:18 |
