| <ignus> ... | |
| <dgold> ... spake ignus! | |
| <ignus> holy shit someone other than me actually said something!!!!! | |
| <dgold> yeah - its an active channel | |
| <ignus> i can see that :/ | |
| <ignus> ah well | |
| <dgold> last sprache I see before your interjection was @19.48 on Mar 6th. | |
| <ignus> i was really hoping that there would be more support for ubuntu on our little island :? | |
| <ignus> you mean noone has said anything in here in over a week? | |
| <ignus> now that sucks | |
| <dgold> like I said - quiet. | |
| <ignus> ah well | |
| <dgold> many of the type of person you might imagine would be here (irish ubuntu users) tend to be on irc.linux.ie | |
| <ignus> is it active? | |
| <dgold> yes. | |
| <ignus> ah ok cool | |
| <dgold> what it isn't is an Irish Ubuntu channel | |
| <dgold> its general linuxy things. most of the chanusers are sysadmins &c | |
| <ignus> ah ok cool | |
| <dgold> whereabouts on the island are you based? | |
| <ignus> is it possible to make xchat join more than one server? | |
| <ignus> er, maynooth | |
| <ignus> you? | |
| <dgold> tbh, I don't use xchat, but i think you can do that. | |
| <dgold> cork. | |
| <ignus> ah, the peoples republic | |
| <dgold> there's also a linux group thing on boards.ie, if you are into that sort of thing :) | |
| <ignus> i donno man | |
| <ignus> kinda got bored with the boards | |
| <dgold> long-time lunix user? | |
| <ignus> what i am really lookin for is a linux meetup but i cant find one anywhere | |
| <ignus> linux.ie doesnt seem to be kept up to date | |
| <dgold> in what sense? tha mailing list is pretty active | |
| <ignus> yeah, first freebsd for many years, then gentoo and now ubuntu | |
| <ignus> maybe i should sign up so :P | |
| * dgold went slack -> debian -> ubuntu | |
| <ignus> yeah i tried slack at the very start for a bout | |
| <ignus> a week | |
| <ignus> about* | |
| <dgold> there are fairly frequent PoTD meetings, in Dublin (Pints of the Day) | |
| <ignus> but it drove me insane so i switched to freebsd | |
| <ignus> yeah? | |
| <ignus> have you ever gone? | |
| <dgold> nope 1) non pub-drinker 2) dublin is *far* | |
| <dgold> those I know who've gone appear to have fun... | |
| <ignus> ok cool | |
| <dgold> meh - have a gander at the mailing archives, see if it grabs your attention. | |
| <dgold> if you like what you see, sign up. | |
| <ignus> i tried debian out of curiosity the other day in a VirtualBox session when i had an hour free in work but everything seems to be _so_ out of date. maybe in just too used to the gentoo bleeding edge approack | |
| <ignus> approach* | |
| <dgold> anyway - hometime. | |
| <ignus> ok cool | |
| <ignus> take it easy man | |
| <dgold> debian is fine for servers. for desktops it offers stability, but not bleeding edge | |
