<0> i must be a slack nazi then :)
<1> unhelpful kids at that :P
<2> Fiver, , what is a good distro in your opinion?
<0> freebsdrulz I wouldn't expect anything less than holes in fedora frequently, its a testing distro after all
<3> !ubuntu
<4> hmm... ubuntu is a fad flavour-of-the-week distribution following a Debian pattern. It is available from http://www.ubuntu.com/, or for human beings. Or so Alia would have you believe.
<3> !factinfoubuntu
<3> !factinfo ubuntu
<4> ubuntu -- last modified at Sat Apr 9 18:04:12 2005 by long_Who!~paul@longword.users.undernet.org; it has been requested times, last by BattleNet, s ago.
<2> so what do you use? gentoo?
<0> i personally favor centos for my servers, i dont play with desktop much
<5> freebsdrulz: I have only tried a few, and try not to express strong opinions on those I haven't tried (which includes slackware) - and "good" depends on the purpose. I think fedora makes a "decent" development distro, but I'd never put it on a server. I think debian is a good distro, and gentoo, but I personally use CentOS
<2> mm ok
<5> freebsdrulz: but I've never run a linux desktop, only servers
<2> ok
<6> CentOS is da bomb
<5> I've been quite happy with centos on my servers
<0> its very nice for stability
<2> first time I hear centos
<5> I may manage a linux desktop in a month or so, and I'll probably try ubuntu and gentoo and fedora on it (not necessarily in that order)
<2> has anyone tried plan 9?
<5> freebsdrulz: it's a "100% compatible" RHEL clone (like WhiteBox and Tao)
<2> Fiona, dunno those either
<5> well, it's a RHEL clone.. build directly from RHEL source to be "identical" to RHEL
<0> plan 9?
<5> only for free
<7> Whitebox was the bomb up until centos iirc, never did take much to redhat type distros myself tho
<5> I've heard of plan 9, but never used it
<2> plan 9 is not unix
<3> !factinfo ubuntu

<2> is what I heard
<8> If they had a Linux build of World of warcraft I would prob use linux
<2> I actually dfownloaded the iso for plan9, 70 mb, but havent tried it yet
<0> eeek mmorpg
<2> http://cm.bell-labs.com/plan9/
<5> oh, they have a livecd now.. they didn't last time I looked (which has been quite some time)
<2> just get it and try it
<2> 70mb
<5> I plan (9) to
<5> freebsdrulz: know anyone who's running it in production?
<2> I just forgot the partition this harddisk.. wish I did
<2> no
<5> well, it'll be something to play with anyway
<2> yes
<2> it looks really bizarre in its screenshots
<5> well, I would say primative rather than bizarre.. doesn't have a fancy, curvy desktop
<5> primitive
<2> it would probably work really fast
<2> all the cosmetic make it slow
<5> yeah, I don't run a GUI on any of my boxes
<5> I can never help people with X/KDE/Gnome/etc questions :/
<2> I run minimum, I wont run KDe or GNOME, they will eat up all your RAM
<5> yeah
<5> I would probably try xfce if I really needed one for something
<2> yes that or blackbox
<5> but PuTTY and screen are enough for me
<2> see
<9> wasn't there somthing called light-kde?
<9> i think i used it sometime ago and it was very nice
<2> in this plan9 wiki I read that you can "import the /dev/audio of another computer on the LAN"
<2> whatever that means lol
<5> does that imply you can play music to a remote audio device?
<2> I dunno
<5> that could be.. obnoxious :)
<2> lol
<9> also that could mean you can listen to whatever is playing on the remote device
<5> "Hey! What? I didn't play that! Who's doing this!?"
<5> mako: yeah, seems more likely
<5> the former sounds like more fun though <EG>
<9> anyway, if you can read it, then writing to it could be just a matter of permissions only
<5> naturally
<9> wasn't there a way to share devices in linux as well?
<9> i think i've read about it somewhere few years ago.
<5> probably
<10> Fiver: Wouldn't people being allowed to run commands on your machine be obnoxious?
<10> mako: Not as such, no.
<10> mako: But, esd, arts and jack are what you need to look into.
<9> gcbirzan: ah. not that.
<10> Not what?
<9> gcbirzan: i'm sure the article was talking about sharing devices directly like sharing /dev/cdrom and such
<10> Jack is the closest thing you can do.
<10> Shouldn't be too hard.
<9> gcbirzan: now, what i'm not sure about is if the article was talking about an actual existing implementation
<9> gcbirzan: it was talking about sharing resources between computers in a cluster
<9> it talked about sharing devices directly between nodes.
<9> anyway that was a long time ago.
<2> Plan 9 fits well with a networked environment, files and directory trees can be imported from other machines, and all resources are files or directory trees, it's easy to share resources. Want to use a different machine's sound card? Import its /dev/audio. Want to debug processes that run on another machine? Import its /proc. Want to use a network interface on another machine? Import its /net. And so on.

<1> how do i make a data dvd in windows?
<1> i have to buy/pirate software?
<11> prolly gotta get nero or some such nonsense
<10> I think Explorer can burn DVDs.
<1> linux can't burn to those type of dvds
<10> Ugh?
<1> that's why we're trying to do it from windows now :\
<10> What type of DVDs are we talking about?
<11> k3b burns data fine
<1> memorex 16x dvd+rs
<1> linux_terror: normally yes, but not with tese particular dvds
<11> oh its the media its having issuues with
<1> nor could cdrecord or dvdrecord from command prompt
<11> wierd
<1> yeah
<2> www.download.com
<10> sinthetek: I had problems the other way around.
<1> keeps saying incompatible media and ruining the disks
<10> sinthetek: Kept getting coasters from Windows, they work fine from Linux.
