<k000lz> How do I check which version of linux I have running. I originally installed Mandrake, but after doing the updates, it says I have mandrivia
<cappicard> reality_: i've seen a dLink wifi card that gets decent signal. I don't know the model number.
<dogbert2> Reality, the WPC54G is a PCMCIA card...802.11b/g
<Ka-bar> Falchion2, so somebody knows how to use photoshop... BFD.
<reality_> dogbert2: I'm looking for a low profile card. One with a smaller piece that sticks out of the machine
<reality_> Only thing I've seen is the Trendnet generic PCMCIA
<Ka-bar> Hey, sorry, but there are plenty of valid reasons to criticize bush... the photoshopped "bush is a moron" crap is getting old, mmmmkay?
<Falchion2> Ka-bar: Oh please, considering half the **** you send me?
<dogbert2> you'll have a tough time finding something like that...

<reality_> This guy

<Nanuq> cap'n
<reality_> Nanuq
<Nanuq> cappicard: back to work on the 30th :)
<Nanuq> Ahh! Reality has caught up to me!
<cappicard> sweet :)
<Ka-bar> Falchion2, most of the **** I send you is humorous and apolitical, iirc.
<cappicard> heh
<reality_> O.k. Does that bull**** that hangs out of the computer's PCMCIA slot serve as an antenna?
<Falchion2> reality_: No, it's there to add balance. Otherwise you'd be too lopsided.
<lachat> reality_, yes
<reality_> Hmmm...
<reality_> Wonder if I can mod that thing
<reality_> Run an external antenna up into the screen, ala ibook
<lachat> buy a lappy with an internal antenna
<reality_> lachat: Already have one...an ibook.
<XyZzY> reality_: maybe
<Nanuq> Heh, that seemed a bit dodgy, but it worked.
<reality_> lachat: This is for a pocket PC
<reality_> I'm thinking jornada.
<Nanuq> Wanted to change my shell, except I can't while logged in. I can't login as root, either.
<reality_> They are cheap as hell these days on the bay
<lachat> Ah, I see. There are a lot of laptop with internals now, but pcoket PC is a little smaller
<Nanuq> So I just threw the usermod command in the startup, and it changed it during the reboot I had to do anyhow.
<Nanuq> Handy.
<reality_> lachat: Yeah, all I get with a jornada is a PCMCIA slot and an CF card slot
<XyZzY> there are pocketpc with internal wireless Dell x50v
<reality_> The CF is definitely going to be memory
<reality_> XyZzY: Already have the Dell
<reality_> XyZzY: But, no keyboard and the battery isn't that good
<XyZzY> bluetooth keyboard
<reality_> XyZzY: Kind of defeats the purpose for me
<reality_> I'd really like to get the Sharp Zaurus C3100...
<XyZzY> can't have it all ... yet. hope they figure out that optical keyboard soon
<reality_> But, ****, expensive
<Falchion2> Just get a good software keyboard. I used ot have a sweet one on my ppc
<reality_> http://www.geekstuff4u.com/product_info.php?language=en¤cy=USD&products_id=210
<reality_> They do have a low profile SD wifi card that only extends 1/4 of an inch out
<dogbert2> ummmm, some snort sig updates...
<Falchion2> Strider: Dishnet or DTV?
<dogbert2> heh, neither
<Falchion2> Or work crap?
<Falchion2> Bev maybe?
<XyZzY> reality_: get the spare batteries out heh
<safemode> hah, hardware glx at >3000fps full screen is nice. nice indeed.
<reality_> XyZzY: For the Dell?
<dogbert2> snort sigs have been updated (via the oinkmaster) :)
<reality_> XyZzY: I'd rather have a jornada again
<reality_> XyZzY: That ****er runs for 8 hours straight
<XyZzY> reality_: nah for any wifi - tends to **** battery
<reality_> XyZzY: Well, yeah, but the wifi is an occasional thing
<dogbert2> hehehe...run a laptop, they'll **** your better dry
<XyZzY> reality_: I got the double size battery for it - lasts quite a while
<reality_> Mine lasts for 3 hours
<reality_> but, keyboard...I need the keyboard
<banan> plug it to your mouth and bite in morse code
<banan> saves space
<cappicard> I can use my cell phone for wifi but slower than ****
<dogbert2> bluggo!
<reality_> cappicard: I'm in a lab and have wifi access everywhere in the building
<reality_> And outside...down the street...
<reality_> Where ever
<cappicard> ah cool
<dogbert2> and you don't have a decent laptop?
<reality_> dogbert2: I have an ibook
<reality_> 12 incher
<XyZzY> nic. we work in a faraday cage practicly
<dogbert2> hmmmmm
<reality_> XyZzY: We used to...cancer research as you know. We just changed buildings though
<mike2_> bahahaha, managed to segfault postgres with a query :)
<reality_> Used to be in the cancer treatment center
<XyZzY> bwhahaha "Have'nt felt this awful since I saw that Ronald Reagan Film" - Airplne
<reality_> Thick lead walls
<jonesboy> mike2_: (1) which version of postgres? (2) what query?
<jonesboy> (we use it in a whole bunch of places and that's kind of scary)
<mike2_> XyZzY: trying 1970's humour these days?
<reality_> But, the ibook just isn't practical to quickly take everywhere...and the battery life is 3 hours of continuous use
<XyZzY> mike2_: nah, watching Airplane again
<reality_> I work long *** days...anywhere from 10 to 14 hours a day
<dogbert2> reality, my thinkpad is slightly larger...it's not that much of a problem to move it around (IMO)
<Falchion2> So get additional batteries.
<reality_> So I'm constantly charging, draining, charging, draining...
<dogbert2> or lug the charger around with you...you don't have a perm. workstation at work?
<lsdigital-> hai
<reality_> Falchion2: I have 3 batteries for the ibook. 1 I dropped and it's dead...one holds 1 hour...the other holds 3
<Falchion2> Or if you drive, bring a car adapter
<lsdigital-> hey anyone have a fav distro
<lsdigital-> im getting live cds
<Falchion2> reality_: So get REAL batteries
<lsdigital-> and i need more ideas to search
<XyZzY> Justsawasolar powered wireless keyboad
<Nanuq> giggity giggity giggity
<XyZzY> grrr Just saw a solar powered wireless keyboard
<Falchion2> Nanuq: Dear diary. Jackpot!
<reality_> Falchion2: Real batteries?
<Nanuq> Falchion2: Aaallll riiiight.
<Falchion2> reality_: yes. As in, go buy a new one.
<lsdigital-> already got damn small, knoppix, freebsd, mandrake
<reality_> Falchion2: 3 hours is a real battery...Apple OEM
<lsdigital-> what other good distros are out there to check out?
<reality_> lsdigital-: distrowatch.com
<lsdigital-> k
<Nanuq> lsdigital-: freebsd is not a leenooks distro
<lsdigital-> i kno
<Nanuq> lsdigital-: but on the topic of BSD, try NetBSD
<lsdigital-> but it is a *nix
<lsdigital-> lol
<Falchion2> reality_: Whatever mano
<lsdigital-> k Nanuq
<lsdigital-> what would be the best nix for running on a live cd
<reality_> Falchion2: Clue up
<dogbert2> hmmmm, someone wants a improved modification to my inline mod to snort-inline...greedy ****s
<lsdigital-> i like knoppix its pretty sleek
<Nanuq> lsdigital-: i found ubuntu pretty damned slick
<lsdigital-> ubuntu
<lsdigital-> ok
<XyZzY> reality_: that Zarus is rather nice
<reality_> XyZzY: Only sold in Japan though
<reality_> Or distributed rather
<dogbert2> some people must think that since I contribute stuff to snort, I must do NOTHING else but that all day long...hehehe
<XyZzY> give it time
<Nanuq> dogbert2: that's not true
<reality_> XyZzY: Time is gone man...they've been around for 3 years
<reality_> Well, not that particular one
<Nanuq> dogbert2: you contribute things to snort, _and_ eat a lot ;)
<Falchion2> reality_: Clue up? Heh You're an idiot. But that's OK, makes no difference to me if you don't have batteries for your laptop.
<reality_> But, the SL-C7XX
<reality_> Falchion2: Look son, do you have an ibook?
<lsdigital-> ok
<Nanuq> dogbert2: Well, you actually detail precisely what your meal consist of.
<lsdigital-> thanks guys
