[08:46] <lordievader> Good morning.
[11:14] <BluesKaj> Howdy all
[11:42] <lotuspsychje> good afternoon to all
[11:43] <lordievader> Hey lotuspsychje, how are you doing?
[11:43] <lotuspsychje> lordievader: hello, great im fine
[11:44] <lotuspsychje> lordievader: just joined #ubuntu-hardened channel about ubuntu's security and exploits
[11:44] <cfhowlett> sounds ... nsfw-ish
[11:44] <lordievader> I see.
[11:44] <lotuspsychje> cfhowlett: well i wanted to know how come so many exploits are being patched lately for ubuntu
[11:45] <lotuspsychje> so this channel takes care of it
[11:45] <lordievader> lotuspsychje: Do you run a hardend kernel?
[11:46] <lotuspsychje> lordievader: no
[11:49] <lotuspsychje> lordievader: this looks interesting to get involved: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SecurityTeam/GettingInvolved
[11:54] <lotuspsychje> BluesKaj: fternoon mate :p
[11:54] <BluesKaj> Hey lotuspsychje
[11:59] <lordievader> lotuspsychje: Go for it ;)
[11:59] <lotuspsychje> lordievader: just added myself to security mailinglist
[12:01] <lotuspsychje> cfhowlett: cant find any link about nvidia driver removal either
[12:01] <cfhowlett> lotuspsychje, lemme look
[12:02] <lotuspsychje> too many askbuntu results :p
[12:02] <lotuspsychje> cfhowlett: but the opensource drivers still avalaible for lts right?
[12:02] <cfhowlett> Yeah, opensource no problem.  just the proprietary was pulled.  very unusual
[12:03] <lotuspsychje> yeah, and for LTS oO
[12:19] <lotuspsychje> cfhowlett: its time linux starts taking over from win and mac, and stop this hardware boycot
[12:19] <lotuspsychje> i hear less computers will be sold, because windows10 will be a free upgrade
[12:20] <cfhowlett> lotuspsychje, well THIS year will be ... the year of the linux desktop!
[12:20] <lotuspsychje> yeah
[12:20] <lotuspsychje> good news for ubuntu, selling pc's with ubuntu as default then :p
[12:21] <lotuspsychje> crazy how much distro's come out
[12:21] <lotuspsychje> http://linux.softpedia.com/get/Linux-Distributions/
[12:23] <cfhowlett> windows10 free but I would be you still need to upgrade hardware for it to work.  that's why SO many computers here in China are still on WinXP
[12:23] <lotuspsychje> true
[12:24] <lotuspsychje> cfhowlett: and with lower hardware, you can run linux fine
[12:24] <cfhowlett> indeed!
[12:24] <lotuspsychje> i read a school in spain have converted the whole school with ubuntu
[12:25] <lotuspsychje> cfhowlett: http://itsfoss.com/spanish-school-ditches-windows-ubuntu/
[12:25] <cfhowlett> I see a few linux adoptions in government, schools and libraries
[12:25] <lotuspsychje> saves a lot of $$$$$$
