<0> nn
<2> nite :D
<1> d
<3> nn
<4> nn
<2> http://urbanlegends.about.com/library/blmirror.htm
<2> :D
<3> pathetic
<3> people who record other women in the cloak room are sad
<5> that was informative
<3> hey enigma
<3> remember that post ya posted above...
<3> ive just seen colour cctv cams that you wouldnt be able to find
<3> hehe
<3> id be more worried about that
<0> hmm
<6> hola
<7> anyone here using ubuntu/
<5> i do
<5> but no radeon
<5> i have an all in wonder
<7> how do you like ubuntu?
<5> i see there are alot of posts out there for ati cards and ubuntu though
<5> i like it
<5> good for beginners
<5> im a linoob
<7> it always seems like someone is talking **** about the easier distros...
<7> yeah i am new to linux too
<5> well they are bulkier
<7> i just moved over from suse
<7> i want to try gentoo
<5> good luck
<7> well i tried it once before with no luck
<3> i would learn an easier distroo in more detail first
<7> word
<7> OmegaEvil: is ubuntu decent?
<3> i.e. directoty structure..compilation..kernel structure..kernel utils..etc..
<3> its based on debian
<3> i only used it from a livecd if something went wrong
<7> so would debian be much harder to learn
<3> hmmm
<3> every distro is different
<3> mainly with the package managers they use
<7> i wanted to go to debian but it only came with kernel 2.4.something and I didn't want to be building a new kernel right off
<3> and packages that come with them
<7> i feel like I want the newest kernel
<3> hmmm
<3> id stick to an easy distro
<3> as i said
<3> not much more advice i can give
<3> id stay away from gentoo or slackware etc.. for starters
<3> all linux distros are the same with the basic structure of the system
<7> slackware was the first distro I tried.. easy *** install imo but this was almost 10 years ago...
<7> gentoo was next to impossible for me
<7> my main thing is a lean non-bloated system... i a funny like that.. i could have a dual xeon system with 8 gigs of ram and I would still be trying to streamline things
<3> well as we like to say here
<3> unless everybody is in distro bashing mood
<3> **best
<8> Best is always relative, it is always subjective as it depends on people's opinions. Make up your own mind.
<7> but there has to be a best from so perspective... say workstation, server, speed...
<3> no
<3> lol
<3> linux is linux
<3> as i said
<7> really that is what i hear...but I dont't get it yet
<3> you can find differences only with the structure of some files and the package manager
<3> if ya want a server
<7> then what is up with all the distro bashing/propaganda
<3> you nroamlly kick the gui
<3> thats how you make it more efficient
<3> psilikon, thats just stupid
<3> its all got to do with how the package managers work
<7> it seems like I am never going to learn linux.... but I have learned so much in the past 5 days.
<3> e.g. gentoo allows ya to set everything but needs to compile on the spot
<3> rpms are pre-compiled...dont use resources and are easy to deploy on multiple machines
<7> i figure in a few years *nix systems will be more prevalent and I am just building up my resume and having fun at the same time
<3> well...since i started
<7> what about tgz's and such?
<3> yes some distros package them like that
<3> i think slackware did
<3> well...since i started everything has become easier
<3> more hardware support
<3> its more fun due to nice gui environments
<3> etc..
<3> more tools to play with
<3> linux is very very powerful
<7> back in like 96 i couldn't get my damn cdu33a cdrom to work... but I had X windows working and thought it was the coolest thing ever
<3> haha yeah
<3> i remember hardware issues
<3> and in 1998 i couldnt even get it installed lol
<3> was fun!
<3> ;-D
<3> took me a few attempts to get my head around linux
<3> now I wouldnt wanna live without it
<3> for networking its leet
<7> i can't wait to feel like that
<3> well trust me
<3> you will never know everything
<3> theres always funky things to do or learn
<3> thats why I love linux so much
<7> i just bought that book The Linux Cookbook 2nd edition. I am gonna read that bitch cover to cover
<7> what is the deal with distros not supporting mp3s and dvds
<9> suse linux 0ss 10 supports mp3s
<9> dvd playback is as in windows, you need to install a supported dvd playback software like xine
<3> psilikon, that has copyright and patent reasons
<3> those technologies have patents on them
<3> means licence fees need to be paid in some countries
<3> i.e. the United ****s of Software Patents America
<3> thankfully europe has sane patent laws
<3> thats why they leave them out
<3> so they dont get their arses sued
<5> always wondered that
<5> thanks OmegaEvil
<3> np
<3> in Europe we had a huge campaign
<3> the lengths the major companies went to to lobby in patents for software
<3> was horrendous
<3> they even tried to get agricultural ministers to vote in software patents
<7> what part of Europe?
<3> but some countries veto'd that
<3> psilikon, all of europe
<3> the european parliament
<7> no what part you from?
<3> im from the Uk
<3> but this would apply to all EU countries
<3> i.e. most of europe
<5> hey anyweb?
<3> dont ya guys learn about this in school in the US ?
<7> the Uk how do you know english?
<3> i.e. the European Parliament ?
<7> just kidding!
<5> anyone know what city anyweb lives in?
<3> maybe
<3> but why would I tell you ?
<3> hehe
<7> no. never heard of the European Parliament... the U.S.A. has some of the worst schools in the world
<3> psilikon, thats horrible
<3> the most important development in Europe over the last 30 years
<7> not really.... i live in the U.S. I didn't know Europe had a centralized government... i did know they moved to euros though.. cuz when I was in Ireland and the ATM spit out euros i was like wtf?
<7> so wtf. So European countries got together and formed a parliament... why not just make it one big country?
<3> lol
<3> because most countries dont want it to be one country
<3> they make common policies
<3> and we have a common tax policy to a degree...i.e. with respect to VAT
<3> and no border controls
<3> well hardly any
<3> depends how and where you enter a country
