<0> Even the kiwis are quiet tonight ...
<1> thats no way to call tavi a kiwi :)
<1> s/way/fair # oh well.. first typo in the morning
<0> Whoops.
<2> hi *
<0> Ok ... this puppy is off to bed
<0> night all
<3> hello, are any of you familiar with linux tablet driver project, and do you think it be possible + easy enough to port to mac osx?
<1> IMO thats totally impossible to answer.
<1> there is this "slight" difference in the way the OSs support hardware.
<2> Nooster: drivers are almost always *not* easy to port
<3> but does a tablet driver do much lowlevel stuff?
<1> depends on the driver.
<3> i thought it just snagged a data stream from the serial port and interpretted it
<3> btw, cool nick
<1> google is your friend.
<3> (by the eye of thundera)
<4> qualcuno puo aiutarmi grazie?
<4> :)
<1> tries: ENGLISH you moron.
<4> sorry:)
<5> lol
<5> note to self: do not try to open a bottle of coca-cola in your lap, not knowing if someone before you got it agitated it like madly
<6> oh we have a power outage at home
<6> ok, centos or at least rpm in centos 4.2 ****s, my complete database went haywire
<6> which means I need to reinstall my fileserver soonish, not to mention register my coworkers again
<7> hello all
<7> I have a quick question
<5> Code_Rat: make it smart!
<1> too late :P
<7> I'm partitioning my hard drive with the intention of keeping windows (at least momentarily) will I have to use FIPS as I have just got this computer and haven't installed anything on it myself or can I use scandisk to partition it?
<6> so mental note, try to avoid installing centos
<8> If you alter the partition table, any data on partitions you modified will be destroyed.
<7> hmm..
<7> so its safer for me to just use fips
<7> then scandisk or fdisk
<1> Code_Rat: you'll have to resize your Windows partition most likely. iirc fips can do that, depending on the filesystem.
<1> Code_Rat: also; its usually best not to use Windows tools to create partition(s) for Linux. Let the Linux installer handle that.
<7> the thing that kinda throws it for me is I just noticed I don't have a floppy.
<5> Code_Rat: you dont need one nowadays
<7> that's what I was thinking, hope that was smart enough for you tavi-san
<7> ;)
<7> trying to see the best way to do this. I guess I will just download fips
<5> Code_Rat: just do some reading before you install linux, also maybe it's better to resize the windows partition with a windows tool (partition magic for example)
<5> and the linux ones with the linux installer
<7> 10-4.. Yeah I have a For Dummies right here on my lap I was just trying to see if it was necessary. Thanks all!
<7> Its an older book (Slack 7.0) so I will have to update the packages after I'm done installing it, initially. Gonna be a fun morning after a 14hr shift at work. :)
<5> Code_Rat: you're welcome and remember, linux is not winblows, so dont treat it like it was :P
<8> Code_Rat: That book is useless.
<5> Shadur: heh
<7> I know shadur. But it's better than nothing at this point and I've ran linux years ago. jUst got away from it.
<8> Several reasons: 1) Slackware is crap; 2) Any book on linux that's more than a year old is badly outdated.
<7> i have to disagree with #1
<5> Code_Rat: no, dont do that
<5> Code_Rat: slackware is crap, also more and more quit using it (meaning the slack fans)
<7> and #2 that means I will have to update it myself and that means it'll be more hands on and I'll learn more so what's wrong with that?
<8> Code_Rat: Slackware, even updated, would still be crap.
<7> why is that?
<7> This is news to me.
<8> slackware doesn't check dependencies on packages, doesn't install security/bugfix patches, and has no means of upgrading itself without trashing your system settings.
<9> Anyone can give me link of a good SSH Client for Linux ?
<6> i thought rpm was pretty much done with corruption bugs, unfortunately I couldn't install Debian on those boxen
<8> Taimur: google for 'openssh'
<5> Code_Rat: cause noone gives that much **** about slack these days
<7> ****
<8> Slackware: The very best 1995 has to offer.
<9> anything else except openssh?
<7> i have it on cd so I thought it would be easier than trying to download something and installing it that way
<8> Code_Rat: Wrong.
<7> well ****.
<7> any recommendations?
<9> lol
<7> rh?
<8> Debian's latest installer can install over the internet and can be started from a 20-megabyte CD.
<8> Taimur: Probably, but openssh does seem to see the most use and have the most active developer team.
<5> Code_Rat: debian, fedora, suse
<9> ahan
<7> i was sceptical when you guys said that but when I seen nobody jumped to slacks defense when you said it I think that scared me more than what you said
<5> try fedora or suse if you're new to linux
<5> they tend to be more user-friendly
<8> Code_Rat: Slackware can teach you a lot about running a linux distro. Unfortunately, most of it is lessons on what NOT to do.
<7> ok
<7> well scratch this then
<7> back to the drawing board
<7> not true tavi I'm looking at fedora and suse right now
<5> Code_Rat: try reading about ubuntu too
<5> they send the cds at your home for free :)
<7> ok will do. what a funny name, is it a distro from africa?
<7> weird.
<5> heh
<5> wlfshmn: you started playing ddo/
<5> s//?
<10> sal
<10> man
<5> ToLsToi: **** OFF!
<10> tavi-san
<10> ????????????
<8> ToLsToi: Speak english, please.
<10> hahaha
<10> lolza
<5> Jesus, i hate .ro that even start saying that in a .ro channel, and i feel like slapping one doing it in an english channel
<5> ToLsToi: what is "lolza"?
<10> ba care stie romaneste
<10> ???????????
<5> ToLsToi: bye bye
<8> ToLsToi: ENGLISH. This is your final warning. Or not.
<5> hah, saw it coming
<7> wow you have to speak english in here? that's strict..
<7> I guess thats EO out the window.
<2> ah, Sunblade is here
<5> Code_Rat: also when we say English, we mean English (we dont like works like 'u' instead of "you" for example)
<5> mod-: no he isnt, it's his evil twin
<7> i think I can handle that
<2> Sunblade: what's (was?) wrong with your IRC server?
<11> Sunblade welcome
<6> mod-: Power outage :(
<2> ah
<11> anyone can advice for a powerfull firewall
<6> somehow the whole neighbourhood got the same outage
<5> Sunblade: that happens a lot in .ro
<2> hm, probably a failure of the local substation or something
<6> and since only my girlfriend is at home, she doesn't know how to reset the router
<2> oh, doesn't it come back up by itself after an outage?
<5> Sunblade: $fiancee is well trained in case of that
<6> somehow it doesn't now
<5> she knows how to do a lot of stuff ;)
<6> I don't know exactly what's wrong
<1> Sunblade: its even on the news
<6> *nod*
<12> hi all
<12> anyone used wine in here with photoshop before?
<1> Sunblade: its one of those times when I'm happy to have a good UPS available.
<1> change_: I doubt that'll work.
<2> Lion-O: oh apparently it does lately
<12> Lion-0>why?
<2> Lion-O: (i've been checking the Wine Weekly News lately)
<1> mod-: hmm
<12> is the command to run a windows file : wine whateva.exe right or do u have to ad arguments?
<1> change_: rtfm comes to mind, you'll have some serious tweaking to do yourself first.
<13> "On a scale of 10, the uncircumcised penis experiences pleasure that is at least 11 or 12; the circumcised penis is lucky to get a 3." --Dr. James Bigelow
<6> Lion-O: yes, still, but not if the kpn central doesn't have one (dslam)
<1> Sunblade: eeew
<12> i get mine to run the setup,then it freezes,but when i say logout of linux,i get a message block and when i click on that the setup continues?any ideas?
<6> Lion-O: hmm why eeew ? Demon uses the same centrals you know :)
