<0> I downloaded the ISO images 3 days ago.
<1> From a mirror?
<0> umm .. hmm. **** dont remember.
<2> fibs: ok, redhat 6 (my very first linux endavour) turned me of rpm forever
<2> they had their chance, and they blew it with me:)
<1> Gathond: Hehehe, I don't blame you. I think some of the rpm cl***ic dependency issues were allievated with the introduction of yum.
<0> I had issues with my fc6 box right off the bat. The monitor continued to state "out of range" when starting up for the first time after an install.
<1> LucidGuy: thats really funny, becuase i'm dealing with the exact problem this morning!
<3> FC is broken by design
<1> boot into single user mode, quickly exit the shell. For some reason the X server will then work.
<0> fibs .. I just hit alt-f4 got a shell prompt FINALLY .. then just changed the res in xorg.conf
<1> That works too.
<1> Fedora Core 6 is nice, play with it for a bit. Over the last couple years the gap between Distros has narrowed. Fedora and Ubuntu are both nice.
<1> You won't go horribly wrong with either choice
<0> but the freaking thing wont support 1024x768 .. have to figure out what vid Card is in the old box and tweak.
<1> yeah thats what you get for going bleeding edge my friend :-P
<0> I know ... I know ..
<0> I still have not made a choice. Its either FC6, Ubuntu, or Debian ... Want to make a choice soon.
<0> Im also not happy at the lack of documentation of the fedora.redhat.com site.
<1> LucidGuy: sounds like your the kind of guy who wants to use them for yourself, and honestly thats the best way to figure out which one to use.
<1> Theres much better fedora sites out there, if I wasn't stuck in a console I'd open up google and point you towards them.
<0> fibs .. yah I like to tinker with ****. But I also want to experience what the xwindows world is like. Never played with it before, but I have seen some crazy desktop setups in youtube . .haha.
<1> LucidGuy: both fedora and ubuntu will give you the good to play with gnome/kde/<whatever>.
<0> Theres another topic .. which freak one to choose gnome/kde. I wont bug you guys with that topic. FC5 starts me with Gnome, ill stick with it for now.
<1> ok LucidGuy time for me to reboot after my yum -y update.
<1> :) good luck!
<0> thanks .. you too.
<0> Anyone have a Gnome setup like that ... http://youtube.com/watch?v=hWB5eIvM4qo
<4> hi, can anyone try to help me with a simple computer hardware question ? i figured this would be the channel to ask :)
<5> hrm.. linux = software ... yea, i see the connection
<3> airbag: you're allowed one question free. too bad you already used it up
<4> OldMonk well if thats how you answer questions then thats still an open ended one
<4> :)
<5> smiley faces dont erase stupidity.
<4> maybe an open source channel is for open ended questions
<3> airbag: why don't you just ask your question so we can kick you and be done with it?
<4> OldMonk i'm trying to upgrade my p3 cheaply...thinking about getting a new mainboard and memory...then using my old graphics card HD power supply ect for the time being...do you know of anything other than mainboard and memory that i would take into consideration ?
<6> lackboard 5.3
<3> why ask me, i don't know anything about hardware
<6> unfortunatly it has slackware embedded but hey... cannot win them all.
<4> ok..thanks anyway OldMonk
<3> later
<7> airbag: what manner of pIII?
<7> morning *
<7> s/morning/afternoon/
<6> bidding starts at $90
<7> Lion-O: on?
<6> the lackboard 5000
<7> Lion-O: ?
<6> :)
<8> ni ni
<6> Nanuq: didn't you hear the news? Ever since the airbags were brought in this has turned into an hardware channel
<9> must i download 15 binary cds of debian ?
<6> TRTint: yes.
<10> if you can't read the install docs yes
<7> Lion-O: .. okay?
<11> Heh, $**** at $work
<9> i have installed Windows after fedora installation, now Grub is dissapeared, i cant login to linux
<9> how can i get it back
<5> haha
<5> that should learn you...
<7> TRTint: boot from the install CD, figure it out from there
<9> do i need to reinstall grub
<12> Hey ho
<5> hrmm remember the game Postal.. that was a fun game
<12> Don't remember heh
<7> safemode: heh
<5> it was awesome.. came out around the time of Total Annihilation
<5> you ran around towns and just shot people
<5> then you could execute them as they were wounded
<5> or you could torch them ...etc men/ women etc
<5> banned in 10 countries beat that GTA
<2> it was fun yeah, although not as much as Total annihilation, I still play that occationally
<5> TA was fun until you basically didn't need to strategize anymore
<12> Any of you guys worked with Virtuozzo?
<5> just whip out the big guns and that was that
<13> anyone help me?
<6> with what?
<13> with LINUX Server !
<6> EVILSbad: Why don't you check out http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html ? Maybe you'll learn how to ask more meaningful questions...
<13> Lion-O: cheak this http://paste.getlinuxhelp.org/100887 !
<6> get real
<6> Without even knowing what this is all about? Try asking an actual question. I don't hang out on IRC to visit websites you know.
<13> i have make it psybnc but getting this ERROR
<13> * Connecting to 124.29.195.10 (5000)
<13> -
<13> * Unable to connect to server (Connection refused)
<6> obvious enough.
<14> Kiddie

<6> EVILSbad: try another channel, we're not interested in scriptkiddies trying to use compromised servers.
<13> k..
<6> adyk: we don't care. Leave the autoaway msgs out of the channel please.
<15> k Lion-O...sory..:|
<7> Hrm.
<6> Nanuq: m000 ? How's life treating you ?
<7> Lion-O: hrm
<7> Lion-O: Not that bad.
<7> Lion-O: Finally, finally, finally ordering those contact lenses. ;)
<6> hmm ;)
<7> Lion-O: from .de
<16> Nanuq: yet? ;)
<7> yoz: hmm?
<7> er, my tense is ****ed
<7> s/ordering/ordered/
<16> Nanuq: we spoke about them.. like months ago ;)
<7> yoz: Yeah I know.
<7> yoz: Found a bloke in .de who'll ship to Canuckistan.
<16> I already got myself another one for one more year =)
<16> Nanuq: ah.. that's nice.
<7> yoz: 8 EUR shipping for two boxes. tolerable.
<16> Nanuq: for sure.
<7> yoz: 27.98 EUR for the whole order. that's two boxes of six + shipping.
<16> Nanuq: fair!
<7> which PayPal charged me..
<7> $43.73 CAD
<7> yoz: fyi, one box would cost me that.
<16> Nanuq: *nod* I got them for more than 5% cheaper myself.
<16> 50 even.
<7> yoz: 5what?
<7> yoz: heh
<16> Nanuq: wrong key ;)
<7> yoz: Now I need some new clothes :P
<7> and shoes. dammit. bizarre size as I.
<16> hehe
<7> yoz: really wide shoes. they start to look not unlike clown shoes.
<7> yoz: 11.5 EEE, in NA sizing
<16> wow
<7> yoz: I might be able to contend with 11 EEEE
<7> yoz: normal is D, every E is another 1/2"
<7> or is it 1/4"?
<7> yoz: Yeah well, I finally buy these manner of shoes, and they're the most comfortable I've ever worn.
<7> yoz: wonder if that suggests my balance is above par. maybe I should get into, say, sumo ;)
<16> Nanuq: *g* i got size 7,5
<17> is it possible to configure linux to shred files when removed? if not what would be the best way to ensure no-one can get to files which you have deleted?
<6> "when removed" ? That makes little sense.
<17> unlinked should i say?
<6> jonsmith: should you?
<17> i believe i should
<6> I'd say make some more sense instead... Do you wish to more dramaticly remove files or do you wish to remove linux ?
<6> "shred files" ? Shred in what way?
<17> as overwrite file with some kind of algorithm to a degree where they are in-decipherabble
<18> i think he means something like bcwipe
<19> Files can't be really removed completely, they always can be restored somehow, the only way is to melt it down to a piece of iron or whatever metal is used
<6> jonsmith: there are tools for that.
<6> so yes, thats perfectly possible.
