| 06:58:55 PM | RobbieF | All feeds go! Have fun folks!
|
| 06:58:58 PM | _Jot_ | ajamison, nope, not acceptable
|
| 06:59:08 PM | new2linux07 | When you install pointlinux on laptop how much memory is needed?
|
| 06:59:09 PM | Tennessee_Frank | Ok, I'm here, the show can start. LOL
|
| 06:59:23 PM | Tennessee_Frank | Howdy everyone.
|
| 06:59:30 PM | IMTech5 | Hi Tennessee_Frank!

|
| 07:00:02 PM | new2linux07 | btw good evening
|
| 07:00:10 PM | agamotto | Hallo all
|
| 07:00:14 PM | Tennessee_Frank | new2linux07 I put Point Linux on my daughter's old L866r desktop with only 512MB of RAM. I'd think you'd be good with 1GB
|
| 07:00:18 PM | _Jot_ | youtube has great picture
|
| 07:00:20 PM | agamotto | I am finally home early enough to join in!
|
| 07:00:26 PM | ajamison5579 | So I got a scam email the other day that had Robbief as the sender claiming he could make me millions online using only an half hour a day lol. to bad they did not bother to spoof the email address just the sender name
|
| 07:00:33 PM | Tennessee_Frank | I'm running 2GB of RAM on my laptops with Point Linux and I've got enough to run my Compiz effects.
|
| 07:01:07 PM | Tennessee_Frank | brb
|
| 07:01:26 PM | ajamison5579 | RAM as in Random Access Memory or Random Acts of Malace
|
| 07:01:54 PM | agamotto | Skynet is Amazon???
|
| 07:02:10 PM | ajamison5579 | Drones are illegal according to FCC regulations
|
| 07:02:13 PM | sprintcowboy | howdy all
|
| 07:02:23 PM | ajamison5579 | except by the Military
|
| 07:02:29 PM | Tennessee_Frank | Ok, I'm back
|
| 07:02:30 PM | IMTech5 | Hey sprintcowboy
|
| 07:02:32 PM | ajamison5579 | at least in the States
|
| 07:02:34 PM | spiceJax | New mwanibg for "Wigging out'.
|
| 07:02:40 PM | tachos_ | FCC or FAA?
|
| 07:02:48 PM | spiceJax | Meaning oops
|
| 07:02:48 PM | ajamison5579 | FAA sorry
|
| 07:02:49 PM | agamotto | Certain police departments are getting exemptions
|
| 07:02:54 PM | ajamison5579 | who ever runs the air space
|
| 07:02:55 PM | ajamison5579 | lol
|
| 07:03:02 PM | Tennessee_Frank | RobbieF, growin' out the ol' 'stach,
|
| 07:03:22 PM | _Jot_ | the amazon thing is fake anyway, people fell for an advertising scam: http://www.wired.com/business/2013/12/amazon-drone/
|
| 07:03:31 PM | Tennessee_Frank | RobbieF or did you just not get a chance to shave??
|
| 07:03:47 PM | ajamison5579 | _jot_ the CEO confirmed it
|
| 07:03:55 PM | ajamison5579 | that he is interested in it anyway
|
| 07:04:07 PM | _Jot_ | ajamison, of course, free publicity and not paying a cent for advertising
|
| 07:04:13 PM | ajamison5579 | lol
|
| 07:04:19 PM | _Jot_ | and not wanting to spend money is exactly why it will never happen
|
| 07:04:23 PM | Tennessee_Frank | LIB
|
| 07:04:36 PM | _Jot_ | first, they have huge buildings for distribution in a hub-spoke model far away from civilization due to cost of land
|
| 07:04:56 PM | _Jot_ | with this, they need to be within 2-3 miles of people, meaning buying big buildings in the middle of cities, which is extremely expensive
|
| 07:04:57 PM | new2linux07 | Tennessee_Frank thanks
|
| 07:05:18 PM | Tennessee_Frank | mew2linux07 No problem pard. Glad to help
|
| 07:05:19 PM | _Jot_ | second, cost of drones being stolen by people ordering stuff, and people shooting them out of the sky
|
| 07:05:40 PM | Tennessee_Frank | LOL, I meant new2linux07,LOL
|
| 07:05:49 PM | jaepea | hi all
|
| 07:05:51 PM | Tennessee_Frank | Unless you're a cat then mew would fit.

|
| 07:07:36 PM | revdjenk | hey _Jot_
|
| 07:07:59 PM | agamotto | 99 problems and a drive full o' bit coin ain't one...

|
| 07:10:06 PM | revdjenk | _Jot_: that might work...ahem
|
| 07:10:45 PM | treble | Is sasha wearing a wig
|
| 07:10:52 PM | Garbee | RobbieF, That just means you are a good communicator.
|
| 07:10:58 PM | Garbee | People say I am long-winded too.
|
| 07:10:58 PM | _Jot_ | I think thats just her hair treble
|
| 07:11:05 PM | Garbee | Or I just talk too much...
|
| 07:11:07 PM | kiwitux | Hi all, from sunny Christchurch New Zealand.
|
| 07:11:23 PM | _Jot_ | hi kwitux
|
| 07:11:24 PM | IMTech5 | Hi kiwitux!
|
| 07:11:25 PM | Tennessee_Frank | SashaD You need to get an older laptop off of EBay and throw Point Linux on it.:)
|
| 07:11:25 PM | SashaD | I'll explain in a bit : )
|
| 07:11:26 PM | _Jot_ | kiwitux*
|
| 07:12:16 PM | Tennessee_Frank | RobbieF ChrisLAS got the latest version and was saying it was only 32 bit. Is that right.
|
| 07:12:26 PM | agamotto | I am often accused of using 'fancy' words.
|
| 07:12:29 PM | ajamison5579 | Wirecast is WAAAAAY over priced
|
| 07:13:18 PM | revdjenk | I installed LinuxMint16 on three machines within an hour of it being available... it is looking great esp with new cinnamon
|
| 07:13:29 PM | agamotto | That usually doesn't happen with Windows-based updates...
|
| 07:13:42 PM | tic-toc | Mint 16 is buggy
|
| 07:13:44 PM | agamotto | revdjenk: 16?
|
| 07:13:44 PM | GoodGuy | I am running Mint 16 also on this PC
|
| 07:13:57 PM | kiwitux | Hmmm, no redundancy and bad risk mitigation!
|
| 07:14:06 PM | GoodGuy | No real problems I ran into yet
|
| 07:14:14 PM | revdjenk | yes... released last week
|
| 07:14:33 PM | revdjenk | tic-toc: how so...what are you finding?
|
| 07:14:41 PM | agamotto | Sure.... Robbie is just leaving out that extra T
|
| 07:14:59 PM | agamotto | revdjenk: Ahhh, I was busy hosting family all last week
|
| 07:15:01 PM | Tennessee_Frank | LOL,
|
| 07:15:06 PM | tic-toc | Crashed 5 times on me in an hour.... Needless to say its history
|
| 07:15:12 PM | Tennessee_Frank | LOL
|
| 07:15:27 PM | Tennessee_Frank | :-D
|
| 07:15:30 PM | GoodGuy | WireCast says Windows is the BEST! :-)
|
| 07:15:53 PM | Tennessee_Frank | So, is the new version 32 bit or 64 bit???
|
| 07:16:16 PM | GoodGuy | RobbieF, hasn't said yet, did he?
|
| 07:16:29 PM | revdjenk | tic-toc: running on three laptops, from a 5yr old Dell, 6 yr old Lenovo and 1 yr old Acer S3... none showing any crashy behavior...
|
| 07:16:43 PM | kiwitux | RobbieF, Did it keep all of the version four settings?
|
| 07:16:47 PM | Tennessee_Frank | Nope, not yet. ChrisLAS was saying it was only 32 bit so he could only access 4GB of his 32GB's of RAM on his system
|
| 07:17:08 PM | tic-toc | I have never had any luck with mint. cinnamon or mate
|
| 07:17:08 PM | jaepea | 16 works great for me
|
| 07:17:40 PM | GoodGuy | video card issues tic-toc ?
|
| 07:17:56 PM | Tennessee_Frank | tic-toc I've been running Point Linux with the MATE desktop for over 3 months now and it works great even on my older laptops
|
| 07:18:08 PM | tic-toc | No the os just freezes or crashes
|
| 07:18:35 PM | kiwitux | tic-toc - Hardware fault?
|
| 07:18:42 PM | tic-toc | no
|
| 07:18:44 PM | GoodGuy | wonder how Mint 16 MATE vs Point Linux MATE compares
|
| 07:19:00 PM | tic-toc | Elementary runs perfect
|
| 07:19:22 PM | Tennessee_Frank | Mint 16 would be Ubuntu based, Point Linux is Debian 7 based but you can still use Firefox with Point LInux which I like.
|
| 07:20:12 PM | agamotto | Hmmm
|
| 07:20:12 PM | Tennessee_Frank | I did throw Ubuntu/Gnome 3 on my play laptop as a dual boot with Point Linux.
|
| 07:20:34 PM | _Jot_ | SashaD, there is a downside to wirecast unfortunatly. You need a computer for it.
|
| 07:20:36 PM | revdjenk | _Jot_: I'm legal!!
|
| 07:20:44 PM | _Jot_ | revdjenk, that's debatable!
|
| 07:21:10 PM | revdjenk | _Jot_: and a MS machine at that....oh yes, still needing a computer...hee hee
|
| 07:21:17 PM | _Jot_ | but at least you're known around this iRC land :)
|
| 07:21:29 PM | revdjenk | _Jot_: :)
|
| 07:21:31 PM | tic-toc | Windows VM ?
|
| 07:21:44 PM | revdjenk | tic-toc: windows no-no
|
| 07:22:01 PM | revdjenk | tic-toc: I am in a window free zone
|
| 07:22:08 PM | agamotto | Reminds me a lot of the Video Toaster stuff... sigh
|
| 07:22:26 PM | Garbee | SashaD, Don't put wine on your computer. They don't like wine.
|
| 07:22:34 PM | kiwitux | Cheers, I'll have a large glass of the house red. Thanks
|
| 07:22:35 PM | Garbee | Phil Sturgeon learned that recently.
|
| 07:22:49 PM | tic-toc | the wirecast video was on windows
|
| 07:23:14 PM | Tennessee_Frank | RobbieF I've downloaded WINE but it only goes to Win XP, no Win Vista or 7??
|
| 07:23:21 PM | agamotto | A nice chianti with some gouda for me...
|
| 07:23:34 PM | SashaD | Wine works for me.... I don't have a computer, so its safe (for now)
|
| 07:23:42 PM | agamotto | WINE can do 7... I think it can do 8 as well
|
| 07:23:50 PM | revdjenk | SashaD: ahhh
|
| 07:23:54 PM | Dave-Maydew | Good Evening all, just around a friends showing him the power of Linux
|
| 07:24:02 PM | _Jot_ | hi Dave-Maydew
|
| 07:24:08 PM | revdjenk | yay Dave-Maydew and welcome
|
| 07:24:08 PM | Tennessee_Frank | When I check Preferences it only gives me up to Win XP, go figure.
|
| 07:24:12 PM | _Jot_ | RobbieF is showing windows right now so not much help there :P
|
| 07:24:21 PM | Dave-Maydew | Hey _Jot_
|
| 07:24:31 PM | _Jot_ | Frank, it may be the repository you got it from has an older version
|
| 07:24:33 PM | Dave-Maydew | I know
|
| 07:24:33 PM | Tennessee_Frank | My dang cat Bunny is being evil tonight.
|
| 07:24:47 PM | Tennessee_Frank | Probably because I'm ignoring him\
|
| 07:24:53 PM | Tennessee_Frank | or at least trying to
|
| 07:24:55 PM | Dave-Maydew | worst part is, my friend is a Windows Fanboy
|
| 07:25:14 PM | revdjenk | Tennessee_Frank: hee hee....mine is as close to my thigh as he possibly can...and it isn't THAT cold!
|
| 07:25:32 PM | Tennessee_Frank | _jot_ I went through Synaptic to get it and I've done updates and upgrades so I should have the latest version.
|
| 07:25:38 PM | _Jot_ | email live@category5.tv with the subject: I want wirecast (and include your registered username from the website, which is free as well)
|
| 07:25:57 PM | tic-toc | spiderman glass ?
|
| 07:26:06 PM | tic-toc | lol
|
| 07:26:21 PM | kiwitux | Not registered and don't own any windows boxen.
|
| 07:26:45 PM | Tennessee_Frank | I don't own any Windows or Mac boxes either. Thank God.
|
| 07:26:46 PM | GoodGuy | It was on 60 Minutes Sunday.. I saw it
|
| 07:27:02 PM | _Jot_ | windows isn't free I guess, there is a trial version but I don't think microsoft allows you to keep renewing that officially so that wouldn't help :)
|
| 07:27:03 PM | ajamison5579 | The CEO confirmed it
|
| 07:27:07 PM | kiwitux | Most probably a publicity stunt.
|
| 07:27:08 PM | revdjenk | But can't be too big or too heavy my guess
|
| 07:27:21 PM | GoodGuy | They showed the Amazon CEO with the reporter
|
| 07:27:32 PM | tic-toc | I'll be waiting with a shotgun for drone season
|
| 07:27:40 PM | ajamison5579 | But the FAA said its not possible
|
| 07:27:42 PM | Tennessee_Frank | LOL, I always laugh on the MaxiumPC magazine builds that they blow $90 bucks on Windows 8.
|
| 07:27:48 PM | revdjenk | tic-toc: props to you... ahem
|
| 07:27:48 PM | ajamison5579 | legaly
|
| 07:27:50 PM | kiwitux | Less than 2 pounds and within something like 10 kilometres from a distribution centre.
|
| 07:27:53 PM | _Jot_ | it's fake, they say it in the 60 minutes video why, due to cost, also see the wired article at http://www.wired.com/business/2013/12/amazon-drone/
|
| 07:27:54 PM | agamotto | Most of Amazons deliveries are under 10lb
|
| 07:27:55 PM | Tennessee_Frank | Yep, saw that on 60 Minutes too, Drone delivery
|
| 07:27:59 PM | Garbee | _Jot_, With Win 8 the only trial version is the enterprise version.
|
| 07:28:05 PM | Tennessee_Frank | They said under 5lbs
|
| 07:28:13 PM | Garbee | Normal people either need to dig around to find that or just buy it.
|
| 07:28:14 PM | Tennessee_Frank | and within a 10 mile radius
|
| 07:28:27 PM | Dave-Maydew | Anyone for Skeet shooting with PRIZES??
|
| 07:28:38 PM | GoodGuy | CEO said 82% of orders would be deliverable by the drones
|
| 07:28:43 PM | Tennessee_Frank | LOL, I saw that on Facebook, Skeet Shooting with Prizes
|
| 07:28:45 PM | kiwitux | Not legal in New Zealand would be in breach of Civil Aviation regulations.
|
| 07:28:57 PM | _Jot_ | Frank, exactly, it would mean amazon would have to buy huge buildings in the middle of cities within 10 miles of people, which costs millions, with no return for them, won't happen
|
| 07:28:58 PM | tic-toc | liability insurance will be outrageous
|
| 07:29:00 PM | GoodGuy | Hate to see the expedited delivery charge
|
| 07:29:07 PM | ajamison5579 | Because the FAA says its illegal thats why
|
| 07:29:10 PM | GoodGuy | It was autonomous
|
| 07:29:27 PM | tic-toc | the book smell
|
| 07:29:36 PM | Dave-Maydew | They'll be run by Windows
|
| 07:29:42 PM | Tennessee_Frank | Even with the right address the GPS can be off
|
| 07:29:44 PM | GoodGuy | full price vs 20 - 30% off
|
| 07:29:45 PM | revdjenk | the coffee and the library-like hum
|
| 07:30:15 PM | GoodGuy | $35 or more was free shipping
|
| 07:30:17 PM | Tennessee_Frank | Cool thing about Amazon is you can find any book you want
|
| 07:30:23 PM | Tennessee_Frank | Computer stuff
|
| 07:30:33 PM | tic-toc | shop local - help save a business
|
| 07:30:40 PM | Tennessee_Frank | if it's over $35 bucks IIRC it's free shipping
|
| 07:30:41 PM | agamotto | It's a shame that Canada Post can't get ice cream to you in a reasonable amount of time.
|
| 07:30:51 PM | Tennessee_Frank | LOL
|
| 07:31:18 PM | GoodGuy | SashaD, join a chat room for conversation and Amazon for discounts
|
| 07:31:44 PM | GoodGuy | RobbieF, .. I had that happen with a fly fishing book
|
| 07:31:50 PM | revdjenk | GoodGuy: great suggestions
|
| 07:32:07 PM | GoodGuy | The pictures section was upside down
|
| 07:32:11 PM | agamotto | I do some of my magazines and many of my paperbacks via Kindle these days
|
| 07:32:29 PM | GoodGuy | TRhe sent me a new one and said keep the old and toss if you want
|
| 07:32:37 PM | GoodGuy | They
|
| 07:32:43 PM | Tennessee_Frank | AnyWho
|
| 07:32:53 PM | revdjenk | emoji's
|
| 07:33:24 PM | _Jot_ | SashaD, critical thinking on the internet? That would be new
|
| 07:33:33 PM | kiwitux | How do you then explain the concept of the "social" network?
|
| 07:33:35 PM | Tennessee_Frank | LOL, I'm unpredictable though. No way they'd know what I was going to say
|
| 07:33:45 PM | Tennessee_Frank | !!!!!!
|
| 07:33:51 PM | revdjenk | SashaD: send your robot to the bookstore... meanwhile you are in a coffee shop with your new laptop running linux, chatting with us!
|
| 07:33:59 PM | GoodGuy | I read an article where computers were out thinking real humans that created them
|
| 07:33:59 PM | ajamison5579 | I am waiting for my robot butler
|
| 07:34:01 PM | tic-toc | I don't do social media...
|
| 07:34:01 PM | Tennessee_Frank | Then we can get back to REAL LIFE
|
| 07:34:13 PM | agamotto | Will it randomly send sexts to boys/girls the algorithm thinks is cute?
|
| 07:34:16 PM | Dave-Maydew | Social Media has it's uses
|
| 07:34:46 PM | revdjenk | no, google is "reading" scanning
|
| 07:34:58 PM | revdjenk | *isn't
|
| 07:35:06 PM | Dave-Maydew | Google will also tell us when to go to the toilet
|
| 07:35:25 PM | agamotto | Yet curiously, Google won't help you wipe...
|
| 07:35:34 PM | GoodGuy | The Amazon CEO explained how the drones worked in general terms
|
| 07:35:42 PM | Tennessee_Frank | Hope it won't order stuff for me 'cause I"m broke and couldn't afford it.
|
| 07:35:47 PM | kiwitux | When's the NSA going to start using octocopters?
|
| 07:36:01 PM | GoodGuy | Google is smarter and sells you a biget instead :-)
|
| 07:36:14 PM | _Jot_ | bitcoins currently sell for about $1150 each, but it fluctuates
|
| 07:36:23 PM | Tennessee_Frank | The Hunt for the Hard Drive is ON
|
| 07:36:27 PM | revdjenk | GoodGuy: bidet?
|
| 07:36:48 PM | GoodGuy | Thats it.. my eye hurts today, so reading is work
|
| 07:37:11 PM | revdjenk | They told him the suggested area....and 3-4 feet down
|
| 07:37:15 PM | GoodGuy | For millions of $$$$, you try
|
| 07:37:28 PM | Tennessee_Frank | "Mr. Howel" isn't he the Rich guy from Giligan's Island??
|
| 07:37:34 PM | Dave-Maydew | Google have already sent him the map
|
| 07:37:48 PM | GoodGuy | Send him RobbieF's backup show lol
|
| 07:37:53 PM | agamotto | "Blessed is the pessimist, for he hath backups!"
|
| 07:38:12 PM | kiwitux | Stop looking in the landfill and just refill the wine glass!
|
| 07:38:14 PM | dwmills | Thurston Howell the 3rd...
|
| 07:38:27 PM | revdjenk | and there are a limited number of bitcoins... once made, not replaced
|
| 07:38:40 PM | Dave-Maydew | Well, RobbieF and myself will have to get one
|
| 07:38:40 PM | Tennessee_Frank | Why wouldn't he have downloaded the bitcoins to his current computer and make a USB back up
|
| 07:38:55 PM | tic-toc | Sasha would like the blue wig
|
| 07:39:49 PM | Tennessee_Frank | So would they call a virus in your wig "lice"
|
| 07:39:52 PM | tic-toc | back hair ?
|
| 07:39:52 PM | GoodGuy | Love it when a plan comes together
|

|
| 07:40:12 PM | tic-toc | lol
|
| 07:40:23 PM | Dave-Maydew | The new virus.... you have the NIT virus
|
| 07:40:29 PM | revdjenk | Tennessee_Frank: he forgot... and he needs the original hdd because the bitcoins are registered to it...until he can transfer them.... I think I read that
|
| 07:40:35 PM | Tennessee_Frank | LOL, NIt's
|
| 07:40:35 PM | GoodGuy | Fly Tyers have horse hair, deer hair, moose hair etc
|
| 07:40:55 PM | Tennessee_Frank | revdjenk, ahh, didn't know that.
|
| 07:41:03 PM | revdjenk | it is a wigged out idea
|
| 07:41:07 PM | Tennessee_Frank | Looks like he's just out all that money then.
|
| 07:41:13 PM | agamotto | Boar hair/fur is great for cleaning
|
| 07:41:21 PM | Dave-Maydew | Hahahaha revdjenk

|
| 07:41:58 PM | agamotto | GoodGuy: Usually working 8 Mile, I imagine
|
| 07:42:00 PM | Dave-Maydew | Anyone tried Android 4.4 with OK Google??
|
| 07:42:10 PM | revdjenk | I'm at wit's end... if your data has been corrupted, do you have split ends?
|
| 07:42:36 PM | Tennessee_Frank | or maybe your "hair' falls out.
|

| 07:44:01 PM | agamotto | Try looking for LaQuicha, Tamara, or Naquanda
|
| 07:44:07 PM | revdjenk | In russia, your dog dish names you!
|
| 07:44:14 PM | Dave-Maydew | I know a Oscar
|
| 07:44:25 PM | _Jot_ | RobbieF, funny, you make a great princess
|
| 07:44:34 PM | Dave-Maydew | who would name someone after a Dog??? I mean Oscar lol
|
| 07:45:02 PM | Tennessee_Frank | LOL, my daughter's dog is named Dasiy
|
| 07:45:03 PM | jvillanueva | sword.... cool
|
| 07:45:08 PM | Dave-Maydew | RobbieF "Obie Wan" Fergusson
|
| 07:45:11 PM | agamotto | So you have Names of Unusual Size?
|
| 07:45:16 PM | revdjenk | hey, you are pretty sharp, SashaD
|
| 07:45:35 PM | Tennessee_Frank | I hate it when they spell my name(Darrell) as Daryl or Darrel. There's 2 L's and no Y dang it.
|
| 07:46:07 PM | agamotto | Given the double consonants, don't they hear the difference?
|
| 07:46:30 PM | _Jot_ | RobbieF, it was a failed delivery, it was aimed as a projectile but missed
|
| 07:46:31 PM | revdjenk | roll your R's and LLLl your L's
|
| 07:46:40 PM | tic-toc | Or folded in half
|
| 07:46:45 PM | agamotto | I just learned today that 'aks' actually dates to 8th century English
|
| 07:47:13 PM | kiwitux | Does it actually work as a pen?
|
| 07:47:13 PM | SashaD | I wish I had more time for this chatroom
|
| 07:47:14 PM | dwmills | they make t-shirts too
|
| 07:47:18 PM | agamotto | Mwuaahahahahahah
|
| 07:47:19 PM | Tennessee_Frank | Deliverered by a Drone from Amazon.
|
| 07:47:32 PM | _Jot_ | SashaD, does it mean you have a lot of shoppingcarts at home that you bought for people from stores?
|
| 07:47:43 PM | agamotto | Would you like food stamps with that?
|
| 07:47:44 PM | Tennessee_Frank | Or a unique name with normal spelling.
|
| 07:47:51 PM | tic-toc | No soup for you....
|
| 07:48:03 PM | revdjenk | SashaD: we need a linux intervention time with you!
|
| 07:48:19 PM | agamotto | Robbie, they can't be good if it takes them over a week to move ice cream 100km
|
| 07:48:23 PM | Tennessee_Frank | SashaD you need to shop in Russian stores, more Sasha's over there
|
| 07:48:43 PM | Tennessee_Frank | Wire Cast 32 bit or 64 bit RobbieF ??
|
| 07:50:33 PM | GoodGuy | Roku has a ton of church programs
|
| 07:50:45 PM | Tennessee_Frank | GoodGuy, yep, tons
|
| 07:50:53 PM | Tennessee_Frank | Lots of Tech programs too
|
| 07:51:17 PM | _Jot_ | here a clickylink: http://cat5.tv/bh
|
| 07:51:27 PM | Tennessee_Frank | I even saw an Atheist Pod Cast on Roku, LOL Guess they miss Church
|
| 07:51:46 PM | GoodGuy | I am Christian and thought they needed to add a unique setting to include/exclude them, so the Roku doesn't look like a church device
|
| 07:51:51 PM | revdjenk | depends if he is doing general wideshots or closeups with the others....cheaper cams may be better?
|
| 07:51:56 PM | GoodGuy | I saw that also
|
| 07:52:09 PM | Tennessee_Frank | Tomorrow's World is on Roku finally. They're more in line with my believes.
|
| 07:52:28 PM | Dave-Maydew | Tomorrows World?? How old are they??
|
| 07:52:55 PM | Tennessee_Frank | They've only been on Roku for a month or so from what I noticed but they're programing has been around for years.
|
| 07:53:00 PM | Dave-Maydew | Oh the Church program
|
| 07:53:03 PM | agamotto | Do you mean Tomorrow People?
|
| 07:53:11 PM | revdjenk | Tennessee_Frank: is that Dr. billy the bearded geek guy?
|
| 07:53:16 PM | Tennessee_Frank | Nope, Tomorrow's World.
|
| 07:53:23 PM | Dave-Maydew | sorry, we had a tech program here in the UK call Tomorrows world years ago
|
| 07:53:42 PM | Tennessee_Frank | LOL, I love Dr.Bill even if he IS Pentecostal Charismatic.
|
| 07:53:47 PM | GoodGuy | yes one of them
|
| 07:54:11 PM | kiwitux | Isn't the 'Tomorrow People' science fiction?
|
| 07:54:13 PM | Tennessee_Frank | TW believes in the same way as Restored Church of God
|
| 07:54:26 PM | GoodGuy | His tech shows don't mention religious views too much
|
| 07:54:41 PM | revdjenk | GoodGuy: correct
|
| 07:55:00 PM | GoodGuy | He has a religious podcast also
|
| 07:55:04 PM | Tennessee_Frank | I agree with most of it except for the food laws and other Old Testament stuff they follow. But I still believe that the 10 Commandments are in effect including the 4th one.
|
| 07:55:14 PM | GoodGuy | The head of the TBN network passed away
|
| 07:55:24 PM | revdjenk | GoodGuy: yes, lasted about 10 minutes there... not my cup o'tea
|
| 07:55:36 PM | Tennessee_Frank | GoodGuy, my wife told me that, Paul Krauch(spelling)
|
| 07:55:42 PM | revdjenk | Crouch
|
| 07:55:47 PM | Tennessee_Frank | That's it
|
| 07:55:54 PM | GoodGuy | I was in the hospital weeks, so I watched it for hours
|
| 07:56:12 PM | Tennessee_Frank | Ok, so why are we not talking LInux. :)
|
| 07:56:45 PM | GoodGuy | some shows didn't do much for me and others did, so I take what works for me and assume the rest is for others
|
| 07:56:54 PM | GoodGuy | Yes Thats it
|
| 07:57:10 PM | revdjenk | GoodGuy: great way to put it....
|
| 07:57:17 PM | agamotto | kiwitux: the latest American version is simply a bad soap opera
|
| 07:57:26 PM | revdjenk | GoodGuy: not everyone appreciates my preaching, either
|
| 07:57:48 PM | GoodGuy | My wife doesn't appreciate mine either :-)
|
| 07:57:50 PM | Tennessee_Frank | I think that LInux is to the computer world what Christianity is to the religious world. Many different "versions" to choose from. Of course Mac would be Jewish and Windows is Muslim, LOL
|
| 07:57:55 PM | revdjenk | hee hee
|
| 07:58:12 PM | GoodGuy | Thats a good point Tennessee_Frank
|
| 07:58:14 PM | Dave-Maydew | QJack Control with Ardour
|
| 07:58:40 PM | Dave-Maydew | I use Jack a lot
|
| 07:58:44 PM | Tennessee_Frank | I was thinking about that the other day when I was taking my morning "constitutional".
|
| 07:58:51 PM | revdjenk | he would need a fast kernel ubuntu media server
|
| 07:58:56 PM | _Jot_ | hi Andrew! Hope you can watch live sometime
|
| 07:59:06 PM | ajamison5579 | I am watching live
|
| 07:59:06 PM | tic-toc | TMI
|
| 07:59:07 PM | agamotto | Hmmm, I would think Linux would be closer to Buddhism...
|
| 07:59:10 PM | Tennessee_Frank | Depends on the package manager. You can't use a .deb on Fedora
|
| 07:59:13 PM | revdjenk | oh, noes...you keep these! ahhhhhhhhhh
|
| 07:59:13 PM | ajamison5579 | first tueday off in a while
|
| 07:59:14 PM | Dave-Maydew | I don't use a Realtime kernel with Jack
|
| 07:59:22 PM | GoodGuy | Distrowatch has a few media Linux distros
|
| 07:59:26 PM | Dave-Maydew | the new CPU's are fast enough
|
| 07:59:27 PM | Tennessee_Frank | He'd need to get a package that'll work with Fedora
|
| 07:59:30 PM | revdjenk | realtime ah that's what I mean
|
| 07:59:59 PM | _Jot_ | SashaD, for amazing chocolate go to http://cat5.tv/yum
|
| 08:00:10 PM | revdjenk | now RobbieF will know we aren't even listening
|
| 08:00:56 PM | Tennessee_Frank | I always listen to the show the next day to catch what I've missed during the live show.
|
| 08:01:05 PM | Tennessee_Frank | I get kind of busy in chat
|
| 08:01:11 PM | _Jot_ | yay, free money
|
| 08:01:13 PM | revdjenk | hee hee
|
| 08:01:27 PM | tic-toc | send me 2
|
| 08:01:28 PM | BobK54 | CASH
|
| 08:01:33 PM | agamotto | Ooooh, cold hard dash
|
| 08:01:37 PM | _Jot_ | sure you can be here every tuesday SashaD!
|
| 08:01:38 PM | agamotto | cash, even
|
| 08:01:45 PM | dwmills | I'll take some cash!!
|
| 08:01:46 PM | kiwitux | Canada, US or international?
|
| 08:01:53 PM | Tennessee_Frank | Show isn't long enough.:-(
|
| 08:01:59 PM | revdjenk | SashaD: when will have your linux intervention
|
| 08:02:24 PM | SashaD | I wish I could be here every week.... this is so much fun : )
|
| 08:02:24 PM | kiwitux | do they deliver?
|
| 08:02:34 PM | _Jot_ | they should deliver! I'm hungry nw
|
| 08:02:36 PM | _Jot_ | now*
|
| 08:02:38 PM | revdjenk | do we have an aftershow?
|
| 08:02:41 PM | BobK54 | they deliver by octocopter??
|
| 08:03:00 PM | Tennessee_Frank | RobbieF just order out and have a Amazon drone deliver them to ya'
|
| 08:03:02 PM | kiwitux | I've just finished lunch.
|
| 08:03:18 PM | Tennessee_Frank | That goes way too fast for a hour.
|
| 08:03:20 PM | revdjenk | hence the kiwi? kiwitux ?
|
| 08:03:27 PM | SashaD | They don't deliver, but get on over to Barrie (Big Bay Point, St. Louis Bar and Grill)
|
| 08:03:32 PM | _Jot_ | SashaD, sounds like you did a lot of fun things as a child
|
| 08:03:47 PM | Dave-Maydew | Right gang, I better make tracks, I'm walking home tonight
|
| 08:03:47 PM | GoodGuy | H>A>W>K = High Altitude Wings Karrier
|
| 08:03:52 PM | SashaD | : ).... I was very spirited
|
| 08:03:58 PM | revdjenk | g'nite Dave-Maydew
|
| 08:04:08 PM | revdjenk | SashaD: :)
|
| 08:04:10 PM | SashaD | Good night Dave-Maydew
|
| 08:04:13 PM | Tennessee_Frank | There was a place in Tempe, AZ when we lived there that had 10 cent wings on Sunday, we'd go there with a bunch after Church was over.
|
| 08:04:20 PM | Dave-Maydew | Night SashaD
|
| 08:04:22 PM | kiwitux | Later all.
|
| 08:04:25 PM | IMTech5 | Great show! Later everyone!
|
| 08:04:28 PM | _Jot_ | night Dave
|
| 08:04:29 PM | revdjenk | bye kiwitux
|
| 08:04:34 PM | _Jot_ | night IMTech
|
| 08:04:38 PM | _Jot_ | see you kiwitux
|
| 08:04:45 PM | Dave-Maydew | and RobbieF, can you do a show on how to set a Linux Server up for my friend?
|
| 08:04:45 PM | BobK54 | night all, see you next week!
|
| 08:04:46 PM | revdjenk | IMTech5: bye
|
| 08:04:51 PM | SashaD | The funny thing is, I don't even eat chicken... but I love people who love wings!
|
| 08:04:52 PM | _Jot_ | night BobK54
|
| 08:05:04 PM | _Jot_ | SashaD, do they serve other food too?
|
| 08:05:11 PM | revdjenk | SashaD: and I'm an angel
|
| 08:05:16 PM | Tennessee_Frank | SashaD, back in the day my mom would just throw the wings away.
|
| 08:05:22 PM | GoodGuy | He did a show on Turnkey Linux.. download that for your friend
|
| 08:05:27 PM | Tennessee_Frank | Now they're big business.
|
| 08:05:40 PM | GoodGuy | One appliance was a LAMP stack
|
| 08:05:44 PM | SashaD | They do.... you can check out the menu online st.louiswings.com (or ca, I forget)
|
| 08:05:47 PM | Tennessee_Frank | I love wings, especially during Football games.
|
| 08:06:00 PM | SashaD | Sure you were revedjenk
|
| 08:06:05 PM | revdjenk | hee hee
|
| 08:06:07 PM | Dave-Maydew | Cheers GoodGuy
|
| 08:06:13 PM | GoodGuy | Tons of other appliances as well.. File Server, Torrent Server etc
|
| 08:06:22 PM | GoodGuy | Night Dave-Maydew
|
| 08:06:24 PM | Dave-Maydew | Chat later
|
| 08:06:49 PM | _Jot_ | SashaD, http://www.stlouiswings.com/locations/ontario-north/big-bay-point-barrie-on/
|
| 08:07:16 PM | SashaD | lol.... Jot, you are better than Google!!
|
| 08:07:32 PM | GoodGuy | http://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=turnkey
|
| 08:07:37 PM | revdjenk | SashaD: you said you are without a computer... are you used to windows or mac?
|
| 08:07:39 PM | _Jot_ | SashaD, that is from google, I searched for 'St. Louis Bar and Grill barrie' without the quotes
|
| 08:07:47 PM | Tennessee_Frank | I think the Linux Action Show has spoiled me. ChrisLAS always does about a 2 hour show then edits it to an hour for rebroadcast.
|
| 08:08:02 PM | Tennessee_Frank | Wish we had a longer show here.:-(
|
| 08:08:11 PM | GoodGuy | I miss Brian on LAS
|
| 08:08:23 PM | SashaD | I'm used to Windows.... I'm hoping to switch to Linux though
|
| 08:08:32 PM | GoodGuy | You either liked him or thought it was an odd one lol
|
| 08:08:38 PM | revdjenk | GoodGuy: have you seen his new one? Bad Voltage... he and three others....it is very good
|
| 08:08:41 PM | _Jot_ | I would love a longer show but I don't want to take more time from RobbieF, he already spends so much time on us, and I can never pay him back enough
|
| 08:08:44 PM | Tennessee_Frank | GoodGuy was he the Co Host early on?? because the newer shows all have Matt
|
| 08:09:16 PM | Tennessee_Frank | SashaD Point Linux would be an easy switch for you.
|
| 08:09:30 PM | GoodGuy | Yes I d/l'ed two episodes, but havent listened yet... havent been feeling good and lots of family doc appts
|
| 08:09:35 PM | Tennessee_Frank | SashaD and RobbieF could help you with any problems that you'd have.
|
| 08:09:42 PM | revdjenk | Tennessee_Frank: yes... Matt is a great techie, but I think he tries too hard to be a Lunduke replacement....
|
| 08:10:02 PM | Tennessee_Frank | LOL, Matt can be kind of "off the wall" at times.
|
| 08:10:13 PM | Tennessee_Frank | Heck, ChrisLAS can be a bit off the wall too.
|
| 08:10:33 PM | Tennessee_Frank | Still, between here, and LAS I've learned a lot about LInux.
|
| 08:10:34 PM | SashaD | That's what I was thinking.... and maybe as I learn I can help with some little tips as I get Linuxized
|
| 08:10:36 PM | GoodGuy | Matt is smart, but seems like a yes man.. he always agrees with Chris, so it lacks the neat interaction Brian had
|
| 08:10:37 PM | RobbieF | Thanks everyone! Hope you enjoyed the show
|
| 08:10:47 PM | GoodGuy | I did RobbieF
|
| 08:11:18 PM | _Jot_ | it was really nice RobbieF, with SashaD and such
|
| 08:11:23 PM | Tennessee_Frank | SashaD It's not hard at all. Personally I find Windows Very Hard to deal with because it's not intuitive at all for me. I've taken to Linux like a fish to water.
|
| 08:11:42 PM | revdjenk | SashaD: then please take a look at LinuxMint... It will be fairly familiiar to you, and won't require much of any fiddling...to get it like you want it.
|
| 08:11:45 PM | Guest_6428 | Thanks Robbie!
|
| 08:11:54 PM | _Jot_ | SashaD, if your smartphone runs android, you're already using linux because android is a linux-distribution
|
| 08:12:14 PM | GoodGuy | PCLinusOS is a KDE distro that looks similar to Windows also
|
| 08:12:14 PM | Guest_6428 | And Sasha of course!
|
| 08:12:15 PM | revdjenk | It comes with firefox, libreoffice, great selections in audio and video areas
|
| 08:12:23 PM | Tennessee_Frank | I was using Linux Mint 15 with the MATE desktop and I really like Point Linux MATE as well if not better.
|
| 08:12:55 PM | GoodGuy | I had to use a boot time command line argument to install it, so that wasn't too user friendly
|
| 08:12:57 PM | Tennessee_Frank | Plus I have my "list" of extras that I like to run so it's easy enough to install from Terminal after I install the Distro
|
| 08:13:09 PM | SashaD | Thank you... I will first find a laptop then I will hope that I can switch to Linux
|
| 08:13:13 PM | GoodGuy | Other than that, it looks pretty good
|
| 08:13:33 PM | GoodGuy | You dont have to switch SashaD .. you can have BOTH
|
| 08:13:46 PM | Tennessee_Frank | Point Linux has installed for me very easy, don't care for gparted, rather have gnome disk utility but still, it's not all that hard to install.
|
| 08:14:01 PM | GoodGuy | I have WinXP - Win7 and four Linux installs on this PC
|
| 08:14:33 PM | Tennessee_Frank | SashaD just try to get an older one that doesn't have the UEFI because it'll really try to lock you into Windows.
|
| 08:14:37 PM | SashaD | Really?!?! That's great to know : )
|
| 08:14:42 PM | revdjenk | GoodGuy: yikes...ever lost your grub setup during installs?
|
| 08:14:46 PM | GoodGuy | Not counting the other four in VirtualBox or the 5-6 Puppy Linux installs to the Windows Partition
|
| 08:15:05 PM | Tennessee_Frank | I've been running a Dual Boot with Point Linux and Ubuntu/Gnome on my #3 play laptop
|
| 08:15:21 PM | GoodGuy | I use a boot manager called Terabyte's BootIt Bare Metal
|
| 08:15:32 PM | _Jot_ | SashaD, I'm sure there is some resource nearby that can help you finding a laptop, maybe you can send a question for that to a guy called Robbie Ferguson, he has a tv-show on http://www.category5.tv
|
| 08:15:35 PM | revdjenk | ah..that's new to me....
|
| 08:15:37 PM | GoodGuy | but Grub will allow for multi-booting
|
| 08:15:44 PM | revdjenk | _Jot_: hee hee
|
| 08:15:47 PM | agamotto | Well folks, it is tiime for me to wander off and consume mass quantities!
|
| 08:15:48 PM | Tennessee_Frank | _jot_ LOL
|
| 08:15:57 PM | _Jot_ | have a nice dinner agamotto
|
| 08:16:00 PM | revdjenk | agamotto: see ya next week
|
| 08:16:09 PM | robgor | Tennessee_Frank the UEFI isnt really a big deal I got a intel haswell system not long ago and thats running linux no probs
|
| 08:16:12 PM | GoodGuy | I have used BIBM for ages and it does more than just multi-boot
|
| 08:16:34 PM | GoodGuy | allows for more than 4 primary partitions
|
| 08:16:54 PM | Tennessee_Frank | robgor I had all kind of trouble trying to install Linux on that HP laptop that we had with Windows 8. It'd just not let me do it. Of course I was kind of new to stuff back then too.
|
| 08:16:54 PM | revdjenk | robgor: yes, ran win8 long enough, offline, to switch into legacy boot... then adios windows!
|
| 08:17:18 PM | GoodGuy | Each OS can use up to four, but you can have 1-4 for OS one and 5-8 fot two etc
|
| 08:17:25 PM | Tennessee_Frank | I know with UEFI there's a couple hoops you need to jump through to install another op system
|
| 08:18:16 PM | _Jot_ | same as with a regular bios, depending on how they set up uefi. My asus board basically just uses it as a slightly smarter bios but with the same options
|
| 08:18:24 PM | revdjenk | SashaD: for funs... go check out a local pawn shop. They may have some machines for a great price....
|
| 08:18:26 PM | Tennessee_Frank | Besides, you can get some 2 or 3 year old laptops for pretty reasonable now and they'll run Linux like lightning
|
| 08:18:56 PM | GoodGuy | FreeNAS, NAS4Free, OpenMediaVault and VortexBox Linux
|
| 08:19:11 PM | Tennessee_Frank | GoodGuy, like those Russian doll containers with one inside of the other.
|
| 08:19:20 PM | revdjenk | one of my fav machines is the old T-61 Lenovo... nice 4:3 screen which is better for writers...
|
| 08:19:26 PM | GoodGuy | TinyCore and SliTAZ also lol
|
| 08:20:10 PM | robgor | Anyway Iam sure RobbieF could hook SashaD up with linux on a computer
|
| 08:20:17 PM | RobbieF | surely!
|
| 08:20:18 PM | revdjenk | SashaD: yes, newegg generally has the T-61 for around $200.
|
| 08:20:23 PM | SashaD | I'm a little worried about used though... for viruses and such
|
| 08:20:25 PM | GoodGuy | Ever since RobbieF taught us VirtualBox, it was Linux heaven.... try as many as you please without risk to messing up the system
|
| 08:20:32 PM | Tennessee_Frank | I'm rockin' my HP/Compaq nc6400's with a Core Duo 1.83GHz 32 bit processor and they run pretty well until I do video editing then both cores max out to 100% but other then that for normal use they're fine.
|
| 08:20:37 PM | SashaD | newegg?
|
| 08:20:56 PM | revdjenk | SashaD: Linux hasn't any viruses..... and you'll be reformatting the hdd, anyway...into a linux format
|
| 08:21:00 PM | _Jot_ | SashaD, that's why you ask RobbieF to install it. Basically its possible a computer has a virus on the software on the chips, but normally if you format the harddrive it'll erase everything on it, including any virusses
|
| 08:21:01 PM | Tennessee_Frank | I got my nc6400's for $60 U.S. each
|
| 08:21:03 PM | robgor | sashad thats why you wipe it first before using
|
| 08:21:11 PM | SashaD | ohhh
|
| 08:21:48 PM | Tennessee_Frank | www.newegg.com/
|
| 08:21:57 PM | revdjenk | robgor: are you associated with mintcast?
|
| 08:21:59 PM | Tennessee_Frank | Newegg has some pretty good deals

| 08:22:08 PM | robgor | no
|
| 08:22:12 PM | revdjenk | ah
|
| 08:22:18 PM | Tennessee_Frank | EBay always has some deals if you "snipe' them.
|
| 08:23:04 PM | Tennessee_Frank | That's how you win on EBay, you have to snipe the deal. Post your bit with just a few seconds to go so no one can post a higher bid.
|
| 08:23:12 PM | SashaD | I will be looking around for sure... and I'll keep you posted on the final choice
|
| 08:23:44 PM | _Jot_ | SashaD, everybody needs a computer these days so good going so far :)
|
| 08:24:03 PM | Tennessee_Frank | SashaD just be sure to do your research first, hit CNet and other reviews of the boxes you're interested in.
|
| 08:24:22 PM | revdjenk | I found my Acer S3 at a local Walmart before thanksgiving...they had discovered a bunch of them during inventory. They were selling them for $300... They look like a mac air. I was running pear os on it with a live usb and someone thought I DID have a mac air.
|
| 08:24:30 PM | ABQTKY | Hey, TN Frank - my oldish HP8510P says, at HP's site 'MAX 4GB" - but mine runs just fine with 8GB of DDR2 - and I got the machine for less than yours! But not with all that RAM. I don't think the C2D worries about anything I do with it.
|
| 08:25:00 PM | robgor | yeah I just got my nephews a brother printer for them to use with my old computer I gave them which is using point linux and unfortunatly win7 for games
|
| 08:25:16 PM | SashaD | Wow.... so many choices/options
|
| 08:25:22 PM | SashaD | thank you : )
|
| 08:25:33 PM | Tennessee_Frank | A 32 bit Op System is only suppose to be able to access 4GB of RAM from what I've read. You can stuff more into it but you'll only access 4GB.
|
| 08:25:42 PM | revdjenk | SashaD: whatever you do, don't go to distrowatch.com... :)
|
| 08:25:51 PM | GoodGuy | Do you want one pair of shoes or a huge selection :-)
|
| 08:26:07 PM | _Jot_ | Frank, its more complex than that, it can access more, but most OSs don't bother if they're 32 bit
|
| 08:26:21 PM | Tennessee_Frank | revdjenk, LOL, yep, WAY to many Distros to choose from. Some of are dead links though, wish they'd do some house cleaning.
|
| 08:26:29 PM | robgor | distrowatch will just confuse sashad
|
| 08:26:51 PM | _Jot_ | I thought it was our job to confuse her
|
| 08:27:00 PM | Tennessee_Frank | IIRC there is a program you can download to access more address links for RAM so you could run more then 4GB
|
| 08:27:05 PM | GoodGuy | The right side of DW has a popularity list
|
| 08:27:22 PM | Tennessee_Frank | Just stick with Debian or Ubuntu and with MATE or Gnome 3 and you'll be fine SashaD
|
| 08:27:34 PM | robgor | you are just mean jot, its our job to confuse windows user
|
| 08:27:46 PM | GoodGuy | or Cinnamon!
|
| 08:28:07 PM | revdjenk | SashaD: GoodGuy is correct.... distrowatch can be helpful if you want to try the top 10 or so Linux distributions (distro for short) You can't go wrong with any of them.
|
| 08:28:08 PM | Tennessee_Frank | This is coming from a guy who's looked at probably 50 different Distros in the last 8 or so months and finally figured out what'll actually work for me.
|
| 08:28:11 PM | _Jot_ | Frank, basically to access more, you have to make a catalogue of the total amount and then select which part you want to use every time you access memory. Which requires extra programming and since that didn't happen (nobody had more than 4GB ) it wasn't put in most OSs
|
| 08:28:15 PM | ABQTKY | There's no challenge to confusing Windows users.
|
| 08:28:19 PM | SashaD | Alighty... it's that time again, where I ask Robbie how to sign out
|
| 08:28:37 PM | robgor | I would stay away from gnome 3 go with mate or cinnamon closer to window interface
|
| 08:28:37 PM | revdjenk | hee hee SashaD
|
| 08:28:38 PM | SashaD | I will be keeping in touch to get all the Linux adive I can gather!!
|
| 08:28:40 PM | _Jot_ | SashaD, you can type /quit or click the x on the top right
|
| 08:29:02 PM | GoodGuy | Mint has a windows like start bar
|
| 08:29:08 PM | Tennessee_Frank | Gnome 3 is ok, way better then Unity but MATE is THE desktop for me IMHO.
|
| 08:29:28 PM | Tennessee_Frank | Point Linux with MATE has that too
|
| 08:29:36 PM | GoodGuy | Plus SashaD .. you can boot from a Live CD/DVD and see how it works w/o installing it
|
| 08:29:39 PM | Tennessee_Frank | and it's on the top of the screen where it's suppose to be.
|
| 08:29:40 PM | revdjenk | GoodGuy: and yet, I added a cairo dock on the bottom, put the panel on the top and auto-hide both
|
| 08:30:08 PM | Tennessee_Frank | Linux Geeks talking about Distros is a lot like Christians talking about Denominations. LOL
|
| 08:30:16 PM | GoodGuy | I am pretty happy with Mint out of the box
|
| 08:30:19 PM | revdjenk | but I know I'm right
|
| 08:30:37 PM | robgor | yeah point linux is good and seems to be very stable. Also not to hard to get steam working on it if she wants to play steam games
|
| 08:30:49 PM | Tennessee_Frank | Why don't we ask RobbieF which Distro is best, LOL
|
| 08:31:00 PM | GoodGuy | Mint has a sort of dock on the left side with the Favorites bar
|
| 08:31:05 PM | _Jot_ | you could send it in as a question Frank :)
|
| 08:31:08 PM | revdjenk | my poor wife has to put up with me changing her system, Mint doesn't change too much between versions...which is helpful
|
| 08:31:33 PM | Tennessee_Frank | It's all RobbieF fault that I've been running Point Linux for around 3 months as I'm as happy as a clam.:-D
|
| 08:31:45 PM | robgor | Iam using manjaro linux very happy with it
|
| 08:31:50 PM | GoodGuy | I agree with LAS.. upggrading from Mint 15 to Mint 16 is a bit of a pain
|
| 08:32:17 PM | Tennessee_Frank | revdjenk my wife went through that with me as well. Started her out with Ubuntu 12.04 then moved her to Mint 15 Mate then back to 12.04 and now she's on Point LInux.
|
| 08:32:36 PM | GoodGuy | They suggested an update plan, but it has some issues on my system
|
| 08:32:48 PM | revdjenk | GoodGuy: I backed up software, installed 16 then restored the software...I was done in 25 minutes....and everything worked for me
|
| 08:32:54 PM | ABQTKY | Why do I have this feeling there's an old OS/2 fan here in the Chatroom tonight??
|
| 08:33:00 PM | GoodGuy | I tried using Mint Backup Tool
|
| 08:33:06 PM | Tennessee_Frank | That's where I like Point Linux over Mint, upgrading is easy. And you still get that great MATE desktop
|
| 08:33:16 PM | GoodGuy | I may have a copy of OS/2 in my basement lol
|
| 08:33:25 PM | revdjenk | Tennessee_Frank: I started with mint 3 just two weeks before 4 came out!
|
| 08:33:38 PM | _Jot_ | I have copies at least of OS/2 2.1, OS/2 warp and warp 4.0
|
| 08:33:42 PM | revdjenk | ABQTKY: couldn't afford it!
|
| 08:34:12 PM | ABQTKY | Anybody else? Just seemed like it. Odd.
|
| 08:34:20 PM | revdjenk | ABQTKY: I was running either win 1.03 (still have the original package) and/or geos at the time
|
| 08:34:49 PM | revdjenk | I had QNX on a floppy
|
| 08:34:51 PM | ABQTKY | Next up will be eCS 2.2 or some such...the 21st century version of...OS/2
|
| 08:34:54 PM | Tennessee_Frank | It's important to be wise in picking your first Distro because it will set the foundation for all the ones that follow.
|
| 08:35:18 PM | GoodGuy | QNX is new to me
|
| 08:35:21 PM | revdjenk | started out with Color Computer...
|
| 08:35:28 PM | Tennessee_Frank | I started with Ubuntu 12.04 so I got use to "apt-get" and that's now my comfort zone, moving to something else is a bit hard for me.
|
| 08:35:36 PM | revdjenk | QNX isn't that what blackberry is using?
|
| 08:36:04 PM | Tennessee_Frank | I guess if I'd have started out with Fedora then I'd be at home with "yum" but I didn't so "apt-get" gets my vote
|
| 08:36:36 PM | GoodGuy | Did it twice and retired from playing with that lol
|
| 08:36:39 PM | revdjenk | GoodGuy: yes, just googled, blackberry's new phone use a version of QNX
|
| 08:36:52 PM | GoodGuy | Ok
|
| 08:37:06 PM | robgor | I was running a DOS emulator on my Amiga 2000 in Uni for programming, what a pain took like around 1 hour to compile. That didnt last long, ended up going to the labs and doing it there
|
| 08:37:13 PM | revdjenk | wicked fast gui.... even running on 286'
|
| 08:37:25 PM | revdjenk | back in the day
|
| 08:37:45 PM | GoodGuy | a 286 for $2,000 back in the day
|
| 08:38:08 PM | Tennessee_Frank | Ahh, "back in the day". I just think of where I am now compared to this time last year.
|
| 08:38:14 PM | revdjenk | robgor: ah, then you would know the Dragon computers? that is color computer equivalent
|
| 08:38:58 PM | Tennessee_Frank | Last year at this time I had my iMac(half ball) desktop with it's 800MHz G4 processor, 768MB of RAM(PC 133 IIRC) and a 40 GB hard drive.
|
| 08:39:02 PM | robgor | no was using either 386 or 486 in the labs from memory
|
| 08:39:10 PM | GoodGuy | a fellow programmer was etting up a weather system receiving data over a police type scanner in baudot code
|
| 08:39:11 PM | revdjenk | ah
|
| 08:39:20 PM | GoodGuy | setting
|
| 08:39:52 PM | GoodGuy | He left and it was sitting in a room gathering dust for several years
|
| 08:39:54 PM | Tennessee_Frank | Today I have 3 HP/Compaq nc6400's with a Core Duo 1.83GHz processor, 2GB of RAM, one has a 320GB HDD, one a 120GB HDD and the last one a 80GB HDD.
|
| 08:39:59 PM | revdjenk | 40Gb hdd is plenty for a linux system! hee hee (not much data mind you)
|
| 08:40:11 PM | Tennessee_Frank | And I'm running Linux instead of OS-X 10.3.9
|
| 08:40:26 PM | GoodGuy | Back then I was gung ho and couldn't stand to see it going to waste
|
| 08:41:00 PM | revdjenk | I keep drooling over old kit...and just installing Linux to show others it works....
|
| 08:41:02 PM | Tennessee_Frank | A few years ago when I bought a used copy of OS-X 10.3 off of EBay I'd have went Linux if I'd have known that they made it for PPC.
|
| 08:41:21 PM | GoodGuy | so I played around and fixed some code errors in a his logic and switched a few key routines from basic to assembler
|
| 08:41:48 PM | Tennessee_Frank | Oh well guys, it's been Real and it's been Fun but I'm off to see what's on the Tube. Catch ya'll next show.
|
| 08:41:51 PM | revdjenk | GoodGuy: this on the police scanner? you trippin!
|
| 08:41:58 PM | GoodGuy | worked like a charm for whatever that was worth
|
| 08:42:08 PM | revdjenk | bye Tennessee_Frank ...think I'll be going until next week
|
| 08:42:15 PM | GoodGuy | The guy was into radio and satellite TV
|
| 08:42:33 PM | revdjenk | well laters all...
|
| 08:43:15 PM | ABQTKY | seems like a good idea - L8r, all!!
|
| 08:43:15 PM | GoodGuy | He put an antenna on the roof at work... got some crystals to receive the US weather transmissions for NOAA at the nearby airport iirc
|
| 08:44:05 PM | GoodGuy | The output of the scanner channel was feed into a audio modem that converted the analog signal to baudot code
|
| 08:45:13 PM | GoodGuy | It was a 5 bit code like ASCII, so I had to create a translate table to convert it to ascii I could work with
|
| 08:46:25 PM | GoodGuy | It took me awhile to figure out the 8080 assembler wasn't nearly as powerful
|
| 08:47:00 PM | GoodGuy | I still remember learning "all registers arent equal on the PC"
|
| 08:48:03 PM | GoodGuy | I tried to write elegant code, so I looked for the instruction to move multiple characters with one instruction
|
| 08:48:39 PM | GoodGuy | Finally learned you had to code a loop to accomplish that haha
|
| 08:48:58 PM | GoodGuy | and only certain registers could be used
|
| 08:52:53 PM | GoodGuy | night all
|
| 08:52:59 PM | RobbieF | Night GoodGuy
|
| 08:53:07 PM | GoodGuy | Thank you
