[00:36] <Unit193> PCLine__: So back to playing around?
[00:37] <PCLine__> Yes - Got time to reload Ubuntu on my Laptop.
[00:37] <PCLine__> and I have updated it.
[00:37] <PCLine__> now trying to make sure everything is loaded and running right.
[00:39] <Unit193> There's a slight problem with routing traffic through the VPS/VPN, a lot of things start giving you Metric and French.
[01:04] <PCLine__> I have never (yet) setup VPN on this setup - I have that on my wish list.  Not needed at this time.
[01:05] <Unit193> OpenVPN is a usual and good one, I use GVPE.
[01:06] <PCLine__> New Laptop is running 64Bit and I have 8Gb Ram - I can run a little more then before.
[01:07] <PCLine__> Want to setup an install with a desktop on it
[01:08] <Unit193> I'm a fan of Xubuntu. ;)
[01:30] <PCLine__> Can I just install XFCE on what I have?
[01:34] <Unit193> Yes, though if you don't install the xubuntu-core or xubuntu-desktop tasks, it won't have all the nice configuration.
[01:37] <PCLine__> Never mind - I loaded 14.04 so I could have LTS.  I will donwload the latest 15 something and try it. 
[02:31] <PCLine__> Installing System - Note you must change the boot order in HyperV to install the software!
[17:22] <thafreak> installed 15.10 vanila unity in a VM to try it out...still not a fan...
[17:23] <thafreak> Tried kubuntu 15.10 live on an old laptop, that wasn't horrible...still don't like that weird desktop folder plasma widget thing though
[17:24] <thafreak> Anything else worth trying?
[17:26] <dzho> I've been using xubuntu on a desktop and a laptop and it hasn't been horrible
[17:26] <thafreak> the new werewolf version?
[17:26]  * dzho looks up
[17:26] <dzho> oh, I see we've covered xubuntu
[17:27] <dzho> well, mentioned it at least
[17:27] <dzho> probably not any new version, had it for a while now
[17:27] <thafreak> i may give that a shot...
[17:27] <thafreak> and the gnome version
[17:27] <dzho> my firefox crashes a *lot* on the laptop though come to think of it.  whether that's xubuntu's fault or not I could say for sure, but I doubt
[17:27] <thafreak> I'm still a fan of gnome-shell on machines that can run it...
[17:28] <thafreak> what version of firefox? is it like the latest?
[17:42] <dzho> probably.  rolling releases and all that, right
[21:24] <Unit193> dzho: FWIW, I don't really crash Firefox.
[22:13] <Unit193> You could always use Openbox, thafreak. :D
[23:45] <PCLine__> XUbuntu needs 1024Mb of Ram in my HyperV setup :(
