[09:04] <JamesT1995> Hey guys, I need help. I used to own a couple od the original Ubuntu CDs that used to be shipped by ShipIt, but unfortunately I lost them while moving. Is there any chance to obtain them again (including old releases)? I know that ShipIt has been canceled :-(
[09:09] <lordievader> Good morning.
[09:11] <JamesT1995> Good morning to you too

[12:39] <lotuspsychje> lets c
[12:40] <lotuspsychje> cfhowlett: nice1
[12:41] <cfhowlett> yeah, I'm pretty pleased with the outcome.
[12:41] <cfhowlett> doesn't compare to ubuntu-kylin though. those guys put serious design into their desktop!
[12:41] <cfhowlett> one of their designers made "fire wheel" for us
[12:41] <lotuspsychje> yeah that one is cool
[12:42] <cfhowlett> remember "how fast does your PC boot" video from a few years back?  that guy did the lego ubuntustudio wallpaper
[12:43] <lotuspsychje> yeah that movie still hides in / somewhere
[12:44] <lotuspsychje> i was looking for a promo ubuntu video like that, but longer
[12:45] <cfhowlett> hey, send your request to #ubuntustudio!
[12:45] <EriC^^> perfect one would be like 1 sec boot
[12:45] <EriC^^> pc is started, ubuntu loads
[12:45] <lotuspsychje> EriC^^: lol with all the ssd's lately
[12:45] <EriC^^> then it says in the middle of the screen "Yeah, that just happened"
[12:45] <cfhowlett> I think my dell m3800 has a 3 second boot screen
[12:45] <lotuspsychje> wow
[12:45] <lotuspsychje> plymouth doesnt stand a chance then!
[12:46] <EriC^^> my arch install is really quick to boot
[12:46] <lotuspsychje> this is why we love linux so much :p
[12:47] <lotuspsychje> EriC^^: did you tweak fstab also?
[12:47] <EriC^^> no
[12:47] <EriC^^> it's on a usb too
[12:47] <lotuspsychje> EriC^^: ah yeah, you told me earlier
[12:47] <lotuspsychje> EriC^^: no bottlenecks?
[12:47] <EriC^^> it freezes sometimes (many times)
[12:48] <EriC^^> i dont use it though so it's ok
[12:48] <lotuspsychje> for a take-away Os might serve some good
[12:49] <lotuspsychje> EriC^^: im planning to make an ubuntu pentest box also
[12:49] <lotuspsychje> EriC^^: install all official/available pentesting packages on it
[12:49] <EriC^^> aha
[12:50] <lotuspsychje> EriC^^: might be handy to find security holes on the road on networks
[12:51] <EriC^^> yeah, any news on the barebones?
[12:53] <lotuspsychje> EriC^^: well for now i got like 3 companys with interest laptopsplus.nl bto.com and nexoc
[12:53] <lotuspsychje> EriC^^: but all prices are rather high for barebones
[12:55] <lotuspsychje> EriC^^: https://www.bto.eu/alle-laptops.html
[12:56] <lotuspsychje> EriC^^: https://www.laptopplus.nl/categorieen/laptops
[12:58] <EriC^^> lotuspsychje: why don't you get a hp laptop with a ssd installed that you want + no os if possible?
[12:58] <lotuspsychje> EriC^^: from where
[13:00] <lotuspsychje> EriC^^: most configurators doesnt have the samsung 850 pro
[13:00] <EriC^^> it says laptop hdd's add $50
[13:00] <lotuspsychje> that one got 10 years warranty
[13:01] <lotuspsychje> so i only want that type inside
[13:01] <lotuspsychje> from 128 till 1gig
[13:03] <EriC^^> hmm
[13:03] <lotuspsychje> EriC^^: i also cant buy windows pre-installed pc's because ill brake warranty by opening the case putting ssd myself
[13:03] <EriC^^> there's some really cheap stuff on alibaba
[13:03] <lotuspsychje> and own Os
[13:03] <EriC^^> http://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Ultra-Slim-13-3-Laptop-Without_60151092503.html?spm=a2700.7724857.29.73.Sx4eOG
[13:03] <lotuspsychje> lets c
[13:03] <EriC^^> i wonder if you hit this guy up, for like 10 how much they'll cost
[13:03] <EriC^^> i think they're like $100/laptop or something
[13:04] <lotuspsychje> wow
[13:05] <EriC^^> they're pretty much i'd guess
[13:05] <EriC^^> looks like a dell / hp knock-off
[13:05] <lotuspsychje> EriC^^: what if if warrant, i have to send them back to china?
[13:05] <EriC^^> http://message.alibaba.com/msgsend/contact.htm?action=contact_action&domain=1&id=60151092503&id_f=IDX1eRWjQbt1RWJzqZeRHQFGSa6puqEpy3x3lzKAKFAZt80hfRJ2JLla7wO3P-yvJvV0&mloca=main_en_detail&tracelog=tracedetailfeedback&umidToken=Bd5a2dfddcc01a809dbdf993d3713c2a2
[13:05] <EriC^^> i dont think they have a warranty
[13:06] <EriC^^> it's like $100 / laptop :p
[13:06] <lotuspsychje> right
[13:06] <EriC^^> if it's ok quality then why not
[13:06] <EriC^^> get 10 for like $1000
[13:06] <lotuspsychje> EriC^^: lol
[13:06] <EriC^^> and see how they hold up
[13:07] <lotuspsychje> EriC^^: well i dont wanna be the cheapest around, but have some cheaper models also
[13:07] <lotuspsychje> EriC^^: i need in the first place a quick reseller, that can send me stuff in 1-2 days
[13:07] <EriC^^> well yeah, i mean if the quality is acceptable
[13:07] <EriC^^> cause anyways the others aren't brands
[13:08] <EriC^^> and if this is like the same as hp stuff
[13:08] <EriC^^> then why not
[13:08] <lotuspsychje> indeed
[13:08] <lotuspsychje> ill have to think this trough a bit
[13:08] <lotuspsychje> i dont wanna be like system76 for sure
[13:08] <EriC^^> cause i went to get parts for my laptop once, and the guy gave me a cheap part that was very cheap
[13:08] <lotuspsychje> high end, high prices
[13:09] <EriC^^> so i was surprised at the price and thought it's not good
[13:09] <EriC^^> and he said all the parts are chinese anyways, even in the original, it's all chinese
[13:10] <lotuspsychje> yeah think system76 is alos taiwan or korea
[13:10] <lotuspsychje> also
[13:10] <EriC^^> you could have some cheap models
[13:10] <EriC^^> and also more expensive ones
[13:10] <lotuspsychje> EriC^^: hmm good idea to combine
[13:11] <EriC^^> dont depend on quick reseller
[13:11] <lotuspsychje> EriC^^: why's that
[13:11] <EriC^^> it's better to have the stuff there always like ahead by a little of your usual orders
[13:12] <EriC^^> like you get 7-10 a week, you make sure you have like 12 or so always
[13:12] <EriC^^> per week
[13:12] <lotuspsychje> EriC^^: well in business school they teach us, to have 0 stock
[13:12] <EriC^^> first costumers love quick responses
[13:12] <lotuspsychje> EriC^^: as brands get out of date fast, and if nobody wants them anymore= loose money
[13:13] <EriC^^> second the reseller might not be able to ship or something then you take longer to ship
[13:13] <EriC^^> it looks bad on you
[13:13] <lotuspsychje> right
[13:13] <EriC^^> hmm dunno anything about business (like any classes or education)
[13:14] <EriC^^> but it makes sense to like keep ahead of stuff
[13:14] <lotuspsychje> EriC^^: well the more of stock one has, the more passive money it is
[13:14] <lotuspsychje> is what they teached us
[13:14] <EriC^^> especially since you wont be making custom stuff
[13:14] <lotuspsychje> EriC^^: well im surely gonna have always 10 ssd's in house
[13:15] <lotuspsychje> EriC^^: as i will be doing upgrades of existing w1n machines
[13:15] <EriC^^> yeah i think it wont be bad
[13:15] <lotuspsychje> EriC^^: convincing right for 100-200 new fast laptop with ubuntu
[13:15] <EriC^^> they'll always sell you know
[13:16] <EriC^^> i'd keep like 2-3 at least more than usual order
[13:16] <lotuspsychje> ok bbl mate coffee time
[13:16] <lotuspsychje> tnx for the hints EriC^^
[13:16] <EriC^^> i think first it'll be a little hard then you'll have it down to a science almost
[13:16] <EriC^^> once you start selling and stuff
[13:17] <EriC^^> sure
[13:17] <EriC^^> :p
[13:17] <lotuspsychje> ;p
[22:10] <Bashing-om> Made a system change, rebooting to see that the change takes effect. brb .
