[03:07] <Inspire> Hello
[03:08] <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)
[03:09] <chilts> :)
[03:09] <Inspire> Am trying out different linux distos... don't like unity so far.
[03:10] <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
[03:11] <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 :)
[03:12] <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!
[03:13] <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)
[03:14] <chilts> yeah, that's awesome :)
[03:14] <Inspire> So I'm assuming you have deep knowledge when it comes to command line/linux
[03:15] <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
[03:16] <chilts> I went Linux-only (no Windows) in 2003
[03:17] <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
[03:18] <chilts> programming / developer / whatever you want to call it these days :)
[03:18] <Inspire> sweet
