<0> nn all
<1> bye bye
<0> sleep well McDuck
<0> you too yanix :)
<2> good night :)
<3> i think I am going to give slackware a whirl... instead of this ubuntu thing
<4> does anyone know how to hook into a process?
<3> I ahve been reading my linux cookbook 2nd ed. but maybe it is out of date or something what is the best way to make a huge file small? bz2 right?
<5> Cool
<5> im in Suse 10.1 Beta 1 now
<5> its _NICE_
<3> i'm gonna try slackware tonite
<6> slackware is nice...
<6> i am running 10.2 right now as we speak and it is very smooth
<3> yeah that is what I am downloading right now 10.2.. haven't used slack in years
<3> i wish they made a em64t/amd64 version of slackware though...
<3> MiRAGE-, what WM do you use?
<6> fluxbox
<6> ran into a problem today though on my machine at work running slack
<3> that is what i am gonna use.. in stalled slux on ubuntu and it didn't work quite right.. probaly due to my lack of experience
<6> decided to update via slapt-get and now all of the sudden i can't login to an xsession from command line but can boot into kdm and login just fine
<3> MiRAGE-, fluxbox is the **** though huh... nice, light and quick
<6> yeah, i love it
<6> always have
<6> i pretty much enjoy any wm that follows blackbox and windowmaker
<3> MiRAGE-, have you been using linux for a while?
<6> yeah
<6> been using since 2.0 kernel days
<3> hmm so why here in a noob channel?
<6> i like to help people
<6> heh
<6> i remember when i was trying to learn linux and there wasn't much around to help
<6> so i enjoy helping when i can...
<3> linux to me has a steep learning curve and it is sometimes hard to exprapolate a lucid understanding from a howto or a doc somewhere on the internet since there are ALWAYS so many variables present.. that is why I get bothered/pissed off with the RTFM and google! repsonses
<6> heh
<6> i will only say that if it is something that i know the person could have found on the net in a format that is very easy to understand and follow
<3> i used to mess with slack about 8 years ago and now I am sick of suse ubuntu and fedora and want to give slack a try again...too bad no em64t support with slackware
<3> MiRAGE-, what kind horsepower does your system have?
<6> this particular one that i am on right now is a P4 3.6 with 2GB DDR2
<6> my machine at work is a P4 2.8 with 1GB DDR
<6> i have been dealing with linux mainly in a server environment now for a long time
<7> psilikon, want some advice
<7> google can be helpful
<7> but some info is old or not vetted
<6> the desktop thing is just a hobby
<6> lol
<7> hence get some good books
<6> he has a good point
<7> omg the next europ million jackpot will be 100 million
<7> 100 ****ing million
<7> this friday i will play
<7> for sure
<6> heh
<3> MiRAGE-, the reason i ask what system u have is cuz I just bought this pentium dual core 3Ghz system with 2 gigs of ram and wanna squeeze all I can out if it.. hence fluxbox.. I bet your system screams huh?
<7> if id win that...id open a cheap hosting company based in the UK
<7> psilikon, lol
<3> i just bought this book called THe Linux Cookbook 2nd Edition it is ok
<7> dual processor ..and squeueeze everything out of it by using fluxbox ??
<7> psilikon, Oreilly books rock
<7> specially for linux
<3> DR-Evil, I want the fastest performance I can get... are you saying flux is not good on dual core rigs?
<7> psilikon, another bit of advice
<7> when ya figure something out ...make a note of it
<7> psilikon, lol
<7> whats the box for ?
<3> DR-Evil, good advice.. that is what I did when I figured out the ati radeon on linux thing
<7> i have no gui on the servers
<7> and a gui on the desktops
<3> my box?
<7> but it depends on what ya wanna do
<7> yes
<7> whats it for ?
<3> hobby... just needed a computer besides my company laptop
<6> psilikon, yeah, my system moves nice and quick
<7> then put a few guis on and decide on what ya like best
<3> i like fluxbox best
<6> i have ubuntu on my laptop, though
<6> not sure what i think of it
<7> a client box should be there to experiment
<7> and have fun with it
<7> and get jobs done efficiently
<7> sometimes test server configurations before rolling them out on all machines
<6> i have that type of setup at my work...
<6> for those exact reasons
<7> link in ****er
<7> bah
<3> I like to mess around with hydrogen and want to find some other programs to have fun with and figure i want the best system performance I can get doing whatever it is that I do.. also want to teach myself c++
<3> and learn linux... i think it will come in handy one day
<7> wuw wuw wuw easy now
<7> hehe
<7> one step after the other
<7> also id learn c first
<7> most lunix stuff is written in good old c
<3> noted.
<7> + c isnt the best language to learn first
<3> i learned turbo pascal back in the day... kind cool i guess wish i would have learned c though
<7> psilikon, you must be in ya 20's then
<7> at least hehe
<3> yeah I am 25.. first learned TP in highschool..
<7> yap thats what they used to teach first haha
<7> now they teach java
<3> so is the slack installation still the same with manual fdisking and all that
<6> yeah
<3> i really need to catch up on some languages.... i think I am also going to back to school and take comp eng. or maybe electrical
<7> dont do electrical
<6> brb...
<3> why?
<3> er whynot?
<7> which country you in ?
<3> usa
<7> dunno whats its like here
<7> but in the UK i had a mate who went to turkey in the end
<7> couldnt find work here at graduate level
<7> computers are needed everywhere
<3> there are tons of jobs here for any engineering discipline
<7> hehe k
<3> i am even thinking about comp. sci...
<7> you will get bored either way
<7> you worked in the IT industry /
<7> ?
<3> right now I am an electronics technician... not really IT
<7> good for you...maybe ya will be less bored then
<3> i work for Halliburton, have you ever heard of them?
<7> nope
<7> well maybe on the stockexchange
<7> but dunno what they do
<3> oilfield service company.. plus they own KBR the company that got all the contracts in Iraq... VP of the U.S.A. used to be the CEO
<7> kuwait or iraq ?
<3> wierd job but my point is they are contantly in need of engineers.. they will take them with low GPAs now
<3> both
<7> GPA ?
<3> Kellogg Brown and Root does ALL the logistics on the civialian side for Iraq wart
<3> er war
<7> btw its not good to go by one company
<7> specially not for jobs
<3> agreed...however I have been reasearching the market and prospects look good
<5> This is _NICE_
