<0> switched to redhat in 95
<1> I have a guy the other day boasting about having started using Linux in 2001
<1> made me feel old :-(
<2> OldMonk: i think he's better now.
<3> can u tell me how to boot iti with loadlin?
<2> szymon: heh.
<4> tenny_e: anyway, the cd should boot automatically and take you into the install
<2> loadlin? jesus christ.
<5> tenny_e: slackware ****s. get -anything- else
<4> D-side: damn! :)
<4> tenny_e: and please spell your words out
<5> tenny_e: you wont get another reply from anyone n here
<3> Jostein what about debian?
<5> tenny_e: much, much better. thats actually a distro
<1> tenny_e: debian++
<4> tenny_e++ ; debian++
<2> OldMonk: i agree.
<1> oldMonk hi5 :)
<3> "spell your words out"
<3> ?
<4> tenny_e: e.g. ``you''
<6> And the Yggdrasil CD. w00t
<1> synapsis: heh, so do I, at least the A and D disks :)
<1> somewhere
<4> how many here started with SLS?
<4> how many here even HEARD of SLS?
<6> I even have the X disks (all 13 or so.)
<5> OldMonk: not me
<3> the problem is that i can't boot debian from cd:|
<4> tenny_e: ``can't boot''?
<1> OldMonk: I :-)
<1> SLS was my first distribution :-)
<3> it gives me an error
<4> szymon: you're almost as old as me!
<2> OldMonk: i remember it
<6> OldMonk: Did you ride a dinosaur to work back then?
<1> OldMonk: I moved to Slackware when all that **** about binary types happened
<4> i sold the first copy of linux in india in 1993 -- SLS, for $300!
<4> synapsis: nope, we were advanced -- he had pedal-powered cars!
<4> s/he/we/
<6> In 1993 I was still using CP/M 3.0
<1> OldMonk: awsome :)
<1> ooh, they calling my flight, detaching - see you folks later
<5> in 1993... I used AmigaOS 3.0 :P
<6> Jostein: Rich kid.
<4> i wish people would still pay that for a copy of linux -- i have a cd writer now :)
<5> synapsis: it was pretty damn good though
<6> My dad got sick of me playing Nintendo all the time, so he made me trade it for the CP/M box.
<7> My dad loved it when I played nintendo....it was my babysitter
<7> Then we got our first 'real' computer, a Tandy TL/1000, and that became my babysitter....Before that, I had a TRS-80, which I learned to code BASIC with
<6> My dad took a computer cl*** on TRS-80's in 1984ish... he'd have me type up his ***ignments.
<5> Steakk: I had some sort of 16kb tandy as well
<6> That's where I learned how to type. heh
<5> Steakk: might have been the tl/1000, but I dont remember
<7> Jostein: runnin the old DeskMate OS? heh
<5> Steakk: nah. some basic-ish thong
<5> Steakk: sorta like c64, only crappier :P
<5> s/thong/thing/ffs
<6> We had a Vic-20 and C64 in our house.
<6> Rollin the super fast Datasette tape drive.
<5> synapsis: w00t. tapes were cool. they made weird noises :P
<8> I used to mess around with my brother's vic-20 when I was 5-6ish
<6> Where if you wanted to play a game, you'd have to think about it 40 minuets in advance.
<7> There used to be a handheld scanner for the TRS80 that I had...along with a tape drive...the scanner was cool though...certain magazines printed 'code' on their pages, which was encoded as blocks of ink...you would run the scanner over it, and it would convert it to text, and input it to the screen
<7> loved that lil toy
<5> synapsis: thats where turbotape and c64 ruled :P
<5> synapsis: only took 5 mins!
<6> The C64 has two 1541 floppy drives. I had the tape on my Vic-20.
<4> the c64 had superb sound for its time
<5> OldMonk: *nod*
<9> you guys are...so, so much obsolete...i feel like in a history cl***...ancient history, that is...:)
<6> Because of guys like us, you have a computer/internet access/IRC to chat on right now.
<7> Aciduzzu: thats because you are still young...just think, when you get older, you will be talking about computers that only had a 3ghz clock speed and 4 gigs of ram
<6> Respect your elders. *whap*
<4> yeah, i invented the internet, Steakk invented linux and synapsis invented chat
<7> lol synapsis
<10> hahaha
<6> Why do I have to invent chat?
<5> Aciduzzu: ancient? not our fault you never knew computers while you could still grasp every aspect of it :P
<7> Yes, my real name is Linus.
<6> What a rip off.
<4> synapsis: ok, you invented /dev/null
<6> Sweet!
<6> Something useful.
<7> haha
<10> computers used to be fun.. and my hobby
<6> Yeah. Used to be fun.
<7> I do find myself getting bored with computers now
<9> i invented the apple with one byte....
<6> I've been bored with computers for about 5 years now.
<4> later
<7> ya know, my life is dull now that I am not devel'l linux full time(since I p***ed the rights over to Torvalds)
<10> same here man..
<10> when apogee was still around, thats when i was really diggin it
<10> haha
<6> Unfortunately, it's the only job that'll pay me at my current salary. So I still do it. heh

<7> docfu: since you might not be online when I get home from work, have a safe flight.
<5> docfu: what was it?
<2> docfu: oh thats right you leave tomorrow.
<2> good luck.
<7> docfu: how long before you get a PC and inet access once you get there?
<6> I have the Quake demo CD that had all of id's other games on it.
<0> jostein "we're developing a new kind of game where you can run, jump, duck and roll, the hero will be quake who is a child strongkid" or something like that
<0> jostein it didn't sound ANYTHING like the game turned out
<7> docfu: do they have the same internet in japan? or will you not be able to IRC anymore? *snicker*

<6> Steakk: He's not going to *China*.

<5> RelDrgn: I can read that :P
<9> well stop mentioning the word
<5> RelDrgn: an d it's NOT early here :P
<5> RelDrgn: most people on irc hate utf-8 though
<5> RelDrgn: even my .no friends who realize that dont go far on irc
<0> jostein what do you mean?
<0> it makes you look ****ed up, like it should :)
<11> Jostein: thats why utf8 rocks though. how many other encodings can one use with people in more than two languages (where one is English)?
<5> RelDrgn: *nod*
<5> RelDrgn: which is also for the love of god I can't understand why its the standard on every OS on the planet right now
<5> s/its/its not/
<11> becuase people whine that they can't break lines wherever they feel like when they use it
<5> RelDrgn: *buuhuuu*
