| <koolguynet> I am a new guy from Abq...how is everyone? | |
| <koolguynet> i am intersted in getting involved with this loco team, has there been much activity within the team yet? | |
| <SubWolf> Not a lot. :) | |
| <SubWolf> Idle here a bit, hopefully we can get something going. | |
| <koolguynet> so what exactly are the goals of loco groups....just like a User Group? | |
| <SubWolf> Basically. Theres a few people here up in Abq. | |
| <SubWolf> I'm down in Roswell. | |
| <koolguynet> it's been awhile since I have been to roswell | |
| <koolguynet> Is anyone keeping a 'member' list/ | |
| <koolguynet> ok subwolf, now for a Ubuntu related question...what flavor of ubuntu are you running? I am a Kubuntu guy. | |
| <SubWolf> Kubuntu, Edgy. | |
| <SubWolf> I don't know if anyone's keeping a member list. Should set one up. | |
| <SubWolf> Switched to Ubuntu in Feb, having used linux on servers for years, decided to do it on the desktop when XP annoyed me for the last time. :x | |
| <koolguynet> sounds about the same as me. I used to work for UNM and then an ISP in abq that was surrounded by Linux and Unix, so I gave it a try with RH 5. I have never really been 'good' at linux, but always loved its flexibility. I took the jump last january and converted my primary laptop to Ubuntu and then later moved to the KDE interface. Still can't get my wife to convert. :-) | |
| <SubWolf> Hee | |
| <SubWolf> Ah, 'twas March. Duh. http://www.subwolf.org/v2/index.php?archives=2006-03&paged=no | |
| <SubWolf> Yeah, I'm slowly converting friends, the old man already likes linux so no trouble there. :x | |
| <koolguynet> i have to say I haven't been able to convert anyone yet...my parents would be the best target, but mom just learned how to play her games, so I am not sure I want to upset that | |
| <koolguynet> what do you do for a living? | |
| <SubWolf> Web monkey. | |
| <SubWolf> Work for a small co out in California, mostly PHP & MySQL stuff. | |
| <koolguynet> cool...I work in IT sales...I was the sales manager for a small IT firm in abq and about 6 mos ago moved to a voip company....we bought Zianet earlier this year | |
| <SubWolf> Hee, right now inserting a 12Gb DB from a MySQL V4 setup into a V5 Debian Etch install, seeing if the code will run without modification. | |
| <SubWolf> Sweet! | |
| <koolguynet> well from the sound of it, you are the guy I will email when my linux install dies ;-) | |
| <SubWolf> Hee | |
| <SubWolf> Feel free, always glad to help. I don't mind, so long as a 'minimal' attempt has been made to RTFM first. ;-) | |
| <koolguynet> I have to say that one thing that brought me to Ubuntu was the strong forums, although I haven't needed them as much as I though, Ubuntu has proven incredibly stable | |
| <SubWolf> Aye. I've had one or two teething troubles, but overall works great. | |
| <koolguynet> I have a Ubuntu server that is giving me probs, but that is something I have to hack through | |
| <SubWolf> Drivers for the onboard sound & SATA on this motherboard aren't perfect, one or the other causes a lockup after two weeks uptime. Going to get a 'real' sound card after christmas, and probably a new PC. :x | |
| <koolguynet> i gotta jet, but I will leave this running. Pleased to meet you and I hope to see some action on this loco team soon. | |
| <SubWolf> Cheers. Take care. | |
