| 01:45.24 | Technoviking | Zelut: switching to Arch? |
| 01:46.35 | Zelut | Technoviking: been using arch since early Jan actually.. |
| 01:47.03 | Technoviking | keep meaning to try it, at least in a VM |
| 01:48.02 | Zelut | Technoviking: I like it. light, customized from the start, rolling releases, good pkg manager (pacman) and creating packages is easy. |
| 01:48.26 | Zelut | Technoviking: I've already packaged origami and I'm the maintainer for chromium-browser. |
| 01:48.33 | Technoviking | coolness |
| 01:49.26 | Technoviking | I'm getting my mind around pbuilder finally, can at least patch existing packages in Ubuntu |
| 01:49.41 | Zelut | I like that it doesn't come with *anything* I might not want. I have to install a logging daemon, cron daemon, printing daemon, etc. |
| 01:50.14 | Zelut | so its definitely not "out-of-the-box" like ubuntu is, but it also doesn't have stuff here and there that you'd never use |
| 01:50.38 | Technoviking | and it is rolling like Gentoo? |
| 01:51.09 | Zelut | right, but it doesn't require that you compile everything like gentoo does. |
| 01:51.22 | Zelut | you *can* if you want to, but I don't think its very common. |
| 01:51.43 | Zelut | for those few packages that I wanted to tweak just a bit I used the compile method, but for the most part I get things right out of pacman. |
| 01:52.59 | Technoviking | just out of curiousity was something missing in Ubuntu for you, or you just wanted a lean mean machines:) |
| 01:54.09 | Zelut | burned out on all the ubuntu kool-aid I had been drinking for three years, and wanted to learn something new. |
| 01:54.32 | Zelut | didn't feel like I was learning much with ubuntu anymore, so now my servers run FreeBSD and I'm using Arch on my desktops. |
| 01:54.37 | Zelut | something new to learn everyday |
| 01:55.50 | Technoviking | that is understandable, relearning RedHat for work after 4 years away. |
| 01:56.33 | Zelut | I like mixing things up so I'm always learning new things. |

| 01:56.59 | Zelut | having learned FreeBSD on my own time has put me in a good position at work where I'm the only one that knows how to use it |
| 01:57.04 | Zelut | (the original maintainers have since left) |
| 01:58.16 | Technoviking | the other system admin I work with only know Windows 2k/2k3, and we are switching more and more linux |
| 01:59.26 | Zelut | man I like using git for backups. making this easy. |
| 02:10.08 | Technoviking | git? |
| 02:32.27 | Technoviking | going dark for a hour |
| 02:39.44 | Zelut | ohh yeah, its going green hour isn't it. |
| 02:40.14 | Zelut | Technoviking: git, you know, the VCS Linus wrote & half the devel projects on the planet have adopted. |
| 03:45.51 | Technoviking | Zelut: i know of git, never of heard using it for a backups :P |
| 03:47.31 | Zelut | Technoviking: dont see why I couldn't use it for that.. |
| 03:50.40 | Zelut | tempted to pull the 2G RAM from my eeepc and put it in my Dell until my order gets here. |
| 03:53.01 | Technoviking | saw Asus Aspire One w/160GB drive for $298 at Sams Club today, was very tempted |
| 03:53.33 | Zelut | man. im sad i got the early-adopter model. all the new ones are *way* cooler |
| 03:54.47 | herlo | Zelut: you can always sell it and buy something newer :) |
| 03:55.36 | Zelut | herlo: except i'd only get $50 for this one :( |
| 03:55.55 | herlo | well, it's better than nothing |
| 03:56.07 | herlo | or you could just keep it as a memento |
| 03:56.30 | Zelut | yeah. I still have a Dell D630 and a macbook. I dont really *need* any others. |
| 03:57.38 | Zelut | I'd rather have a decent internet connection than anyhing else. |
