| 17:09.07 | Zelut | greetings from the Eee |
| 17:10.42 | RedHeron | Wow. Ogden got some snow last night. |
| 17:11.11 | RedHeron | And I got to sleep in... which is odd, since everyone else woke up early. I'm usually the last to bed and the first up in the morning. |
| 17:11.19 | Zelut | We got quite a bit in farmington as well |
| 17:11.31 | Zelut | ma this keyboard s tiny but actually still usable |
| 17:12.03 | Zelut | trying to decide how long i want to stick with this window-ized Xandros before I throw Ubuntu on this baby |
| 17:12.23 | RedHeron | Long enough to learn how to do it properly? ;-) |
| 17:13.06 | Zelut | ohh i figure i'd just dive in and give it a go |
| 17:13.11 | RedHeron | Well... not Ubuntu, but Linux. |
| 17:13.25 | RedHeron | DD-WRT |
| 17:13.55 | Zelut | one thing that's really dumb i think is that this is tied into the Eee repo but there isnt a key installed or available so i cant verify my upgrades |
| 17:13.56 | RedHeron | And... diving in and giving it a go can be proper. :-) |
| 17:14.28 | RedHeron | No upgrade verification....???? |
| 17:14.35 | RedHeron | That sounds risky. |
| 17:15.13 | Zelut | using the default repositories and just doing a aptitude upgrade and it complains about no key |
| 17:15.22 | Zelut | seems like a little detail someone overlooked |
| 17:15.40 | Zelut | ohh and its very windows XP themed, which Im not in love with |
| 17:16.30 | RedHeron | Can't blame you there. |
| 17:17.56 | Zelut | well i think i'm going to make an ubuntu install usb disk.. bbiab |
| 17:18.06 | RedHeron | kk |
| 17:50.08 | Zelut | this is going to be easier than I thought |
| 17:50.52 | herlo | Zelut: does it have a CD for reinstallation? |
| 17:58.51 | Heartsbane | Zelut: which Eee model did you get? |
| 17:58.55 | Zelut | herlo: it comes with a DVD.. but of course the Eee doesn't have an optical drive |
| 17:59.17 | Zelut | Heartsbane: 4G, 512M, 3.5hr battery model |
| 17:59.26 | Heartsbane | Zelut: then why would they give you a DVD? |
| 18:00.04 | Zelut | Heartsbane: got me |
| 18:00.20 | Zelut | installing Ubuntu 7.10 now |
| 18:00.31 | Heartsbane | Zelut: its a 700Mhz processor right? PowerPC or Intel? |
| 18:01.41 | Heartsbane | Sorry I read about it, but I can't remember |
| 18:03.55 | Zelut | not sure the speed but I can tell you in a minute. |
| 18:04.22 | Zelut | so far dumping the alternate CD to a usb boots but complains on not finding a CD. Trying the LiveCD now (/me was hoping for drive encryption) |
| 18:05.31 | herlo | Zelut: you can do it after the fact you know |
| 18:06.20 | Zelut | herlo: well adding an optical drive to this would make it much bigger and heavier. |
| 18:06.23 | Heartsbane | I think its a 900 Intel or AMD |
| 18:06.57 | Zelut | let me open a shell and find out.. liveCD is booted now (from usb 1G stick) |
| 18:07.32 | atoponce | merry christmas |
| 18:07.35 | herlo | Zelut: no, the fact that they gave you a DVD is a cop-out |
| 18:07.38 | Zelut | w00t |
| 18:07.57 | atoponce | Zelut: thx for the pjs for jackie |
| 18:08.11 | herlo | they should have a download or something to a usb or a utility that lets you restore from the bios or something |
| 18:09.37 | Zelut | Heartsbane: 900MHz Intel Celeron M, 512KB cache. |
| 18:11.26 | Zelut | if my repo mirror weren't broken I could do the alternate CD.. /me grumbles about broken mirrors |
| 18:14.15 | Zelut | may be the first time I've installed a machine without swap space |
| 18:14.52 | herlo | hmm, good point |
| 18:15.15 | Heartsbane | Zelut: cool |
| 18:16.12 | Zelut | here goes. 4G reiserfs (to squeeze in as much usable space as I can). no swap. ubuntu 7.10 |
| 18:18.33 | Zelut | wow this keyboard is going to take some getting used to with my big fat fingers |
| 18:20.09 | herlo | ~fatfinger Zelut |
| 18:20.49 | Heartsbane | Uh... I am kinda glad that didn't do anything |
| 18:20.58 | herlo | Heartsbane: why? |
| 18:21.06 | herlo | ~dict fatfinger |
| 18:21.25 | Heartsbane | don't worry about it |
| 18:21.39 | herlo | Heartsbane: hehe, I know what you're getting at, but it just doesn't mean that! |
| 18:21.54 | Heartsbane | Hey forget I brought it up |
| 18:22.07 | herlo | hehe, okay |
| 18:23.48 | Zelut | don't mean to be weird or anything but... |
| 18:23.55 | Heartsbane | a little intel 900 with a external USB drive is not a bad portable server, does it have ..... HAHAHAHA |
| 18:24.14 | Heartsbane | now that was funny |
| 18:24.33 | Zelut | i also got a 500G usb external drive. my wife spoils me. |
| 18:25.15 | Heartsbane | Does it have external monitor hookup that little screen probably drive someone nuts? |
| 18:25.30 | Zelut | it does have VGA out it looks like |
| 18:25.50 | Zelut | its so freaking small! I can't get over it |
| 18:25.52 | Zelut | atoponce: hope they fit |
| 18:25.57 | Heartsbane | How thick? |
| 18:27.55 | Zelut | maybe an inch. its super tiny |
| 18:28.12 | Zelut | give me a bit and I'll post some pictures next to my already pretty small macbook |
| 18:32.42 | Zelut | wireless looks like it uses madwifi like my macbook.. that's easy enough |
| 23:42.33 | Zelut | well eeeXubuntu is the simplest solution I've found for the weird hardware support |
| 23:48.17 | Heartsbane | 'weird'? |
