[01:43] <aot> what is better LTS or 18.10 to have on my laptop?
[04:37] <kumool> depends
[04:38] <kumool> aot, are you planning on installing steam?
[04:38] <kumool> or basically anything external?
[09:13] <xubuntu96w> join
[10:41] <aot> so which version is better if I want to install something external
[10:48] <brainwash> LTS
[10:49] <brainwash> with non LTS versions you will have to update to the next release every ~6 months
[19:30] <zettix> Happy holidays everyone, I had a hard drive crash so I figure now is a good time to upgrade my os.  However physical media is so last millennium, I've downloaded thexubuntu-18.10-desktop-amd64.iso, I have a tftpserver, and I've done this on ubuntu.  Is there a link to netboot documentation somewhere?
[19:36] <zettix> usually there is a "netboot/" directory somewhere for such purposes.
[19:37] <kumul> do it on ubuntu and then downgrade to xubuntu
[19:38] <kumul> and physical media is not last millenium, that sounds insane
[20:32] <zettix> http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/cosmic/main/installer-i386/current/images/netboot/ you just have to find the base ubuntu system, and xubuntu 18.10 is based on cosmic.
