Jan 21 21:04:40 Hi. Jan 21 21:04:42 --> ooohbaby (~chatzilla@192.168.0.188) has joined #techshow Jan 21 21:04:52 Hey there tough guys Jan 21 21:05:24 anyone know how to get a visual basic program to run on linux? Jan 21 21:05:45 --> KohlFusio (~Zippy@68.219.205.131) has joined #TechShow Jan 21 21:06:01 --- KohlFusio is now known as StoneKohl Jan 21 21:06:05 Perhaps Wine? http://www.winehq.com/ Jan 21 21:07:03 No thank you, alcohol is the devil's drink. Jan 21 21:07:11 Heh, ok then. Jan 21 21:07:28 no idiot, he means the Windows API that has been ported to Linux. Jan 21 21:07:44 Oh, I did not know. Sorry, no I feel a bit stupid. Jan 21 21:09:39 Will wine run under Lindows? That is what I am running right now. I picked up two computers from Walmart a few months back. One with Windows ME and the other with Lindows. Jan 21 21:09:52 SuSE story link: http://zdnet.com.com/2100-1104_2-5144199.html Jan 21 21:10:40 Did you try the click and run packages on the Lindows website? Jan 21 21:11:17 What's that? I have not done anything much with Lindows. Been spending most of my time with a copy of Visual Basic 5 I picked up at the Computer Show. Only cost me $150. Jan 21 21:11:23 What a bargain. Jan 21 21:12:51 Heh, VB5 Pro on pricewatch now for $58. :) Jan 21 21:13:19 Pine rules! That's what I used through all my college years. Jan 21 21:13:35 I also picked up Visual FoxPro 5 for $80. Was that a good price? Jan 21 21:14:27 --> moondog (~chatzilla@209.235.223.19) has joined #techshow Jan 21 21:14:35 I tried to run the installer for Visual Basic in Lindows but it would not run. I kept getting errors and stuff. Jan 21 21:14:43 hello all Jan 21 21:14:52 Hey moondog Jan 21 21:14:52 hey there! Jan 21 21:15:14 I don't know where Mellofone is... he said he'd be in here tonight. Jan 21 21:15:18 hello moon dog. Jan 21 21:15:25 Of course, I said I wouldn't be. So I guess we switched! :) Jan 21 21:15:39 hello OOOOH Baby Jan 21 21:15:52 hello Jan 21 21:16:05 how are you tonight? Jan 21 21:16:23 well considering Im at work....OK Jan 21 21:16:34 do they still make visual foxpro? Jan 21 21:16:52 Visual FoxPro 8 Pro is is $67 on Froogle. Jan 21 21:17:03 I guess they do, I just got version 5. Isn't that the new version? Jan 21 21:17:10 Heh, no. Jan 21 21:17:48 I think 8.0 is the latest..... http://msdn.microsoft.com/vfoxpro/ Jan 21 21:19:23 Harddrive! Jan 21 21:19:25 Keyboard! Jan 21 21:19:29 LCD! Jan 21 21:19:33 Mobo! Jan 21 21:20:01 on/off switch Jan 21 21:20:09 Heh, that would be rough. Jan 21 21:22:02 Well, I guess what I learn in 5 will apply to 8. I am thinking about taking some courses at ABS after I do that Microsoft and Cisco free training thingie that is advertised on the radio all the time. Anyone go through that course yet? Jan 21 21:22:32 free training??? Jan 21 21:22:42 from ABS Jan 21 21:23:48 There is some technology preview thing that MS and Cisco are doing and adveritising on the radio. Some crappy promotional thing. Jan 21 21:23:53 http://www.fakedrpepper.com/drthunder.html Jan 21 21:23:56 heh Jan 21 21:24:37 Im for the Cisco not MS Jan 21 21:25:16 TLLTS archives: http://linc.homeunix.org:8080/tllts/ Jan 21 21:25:27 Paladin with the links, you are the man. Jan 21 21:25:30 Didn't loveline do a list of Dr. Pepper knock offs a few weeks ago?

"identified only by their numeric Internet protocol addresses".... Jan 21 21:26:36 I hear that you can share you internet connecction using Linux. Will that work with Lindows? I am using AOL at home. Can I connect to AOL with Lindows? Jan 21 21:27:01 I don't think AOL has a client for linux anymore. I doubt there is anything for Lindows. Jan 21 21:27:12 No...this was the issue with the walmart computers with windows Jan 21 21:27:16 ooohbaby, but you are using Mac OS X now? Jan 21 21:27:21 I mean Lindows Jan 21 21:27:47 I am at my parents house. Jan 21 21:28:24 They run Mozilla/Chatzilla?

I thought cool, I run Lindows and that is Linux. Maybe you guys could help me with some questions. Jan 21 21:29:47 I can help. Jan 21 21:29:51 Stop running Lindows Jan 21 21:29:52 :) Jan 21 21:30:35 What is your uncle's computer doing at your parent's house? Jan 21 21:30:38 Why? What is wrong with Lindows. Although must say, it looks almost exactly like windows, but it will not run any of my windows software. Jan 21 21:31:01 use a standard Linux distro Jan 21 21:31:04 It's my Mom's birthday. We went out to Denny's. Jan 21 21:31:23 I like the Gifts Jan 21 21:31:58 Swag! Pens, Bags, plastic thingies!

Jan 21 21:35:01 Actually, I was just trying out chatzilla for the first time. I'm using the mac tonight and typically I use xchat on the mysteriously disappearing laptop. Jan 21 21:35:31 [21:05] Hey there tough guys Jan 21 21:35:33 Heh, classic. Jan 21 21:35:39 Well, since linc forgot his power adapter, I had to lend him mine and use the Tibook.

Jan 21 21:47:16 I like Debian as well Jan 21 21:47:19 No to Gentoo Jan 21 21:47:20 Debian = Server. Jan 21 21:47:22 Mellofone is way more Gentoo than Debian these days. Jan 21 21:47:28 Debian = Server, Gentoo = Desktop Jan 21 21:47:28 Gentoo = Desktop Jan 21 21:47:31 beer! Jan 21 21:47:34 hehe Jan 21 21:47:36 indeed Jan 21 21:47:39 I had a bad experience with Debian and the 2.6.1 kernel Jan 21 21:47:46 Gentoo = MythTV!!! :) Jan 21 21:48:11 Alsa was a little buggy so I went back to the old OSS driver for my sound card Jan 21 21:48:13 I installed Gentoo with a 2.6.1-gentoo kernel over the weekend to get MythTV up and running. I loved the new kernel! Jan 21 21:48:29 works on the new district Samba server... Jan 21 21:48:34 Pal, I hope you had a fast processor? Jan 21 21:48:37 I had ALSA up and running without issue. But I'm sure the SBLive (emu10k1) made it easy to get up and running. Jan 21 21:48:45 AMD 1800+ Jan 21 21:48:54 alsa didn't play nice with kde Jan 21 21:49:11 Just got a AMD 2500+ (Barton 333FSB) to build a new dedicated MythTV box. I plan on using Gentoo again. Jan 21 21:49:16 also swaret killed alsa when i upgraded my packages Jan 21 21:49:26 Compile times really weren't all that bad. It took a long time, but it wasn't horrible. Jan 21 21:49:51 I have to get the rest of my apps up and running Jan 21 21:49:51 Patrick: Try Gentoo. :) Jan 21 21:50:21 Pal, not with a 800 mhz processor, I tried it once and the install took about a week:) Jan 21 21:50:28 Heh, true. Jan 21 21:50:30 a week? Jan 21 21:50:31 never Jan 21 21:50:35 come on :) Jan 21 21:50:53 Gentoo got hosed when i did a system wide emerge, all of my init scripts go wiped?! Jan 21 21:50:54 I have it on a 700MHz at work Jan 21 21:51:00 didn't take that long Jan 21 21:51:04 I compiled and ran Gentoo on a 1.1GHz AMD T-bird.... that wasn't all that bad. And I had everything under the sun installed on that thing! Jan 21 21:51:16 mel, no gnome or kde? Jan 21 21:51:27 Yeah, actually both. :) Jan 21 21:51:37 Gnome, KDE, Sawfish, and Fluxbox Jan 21 21:51:41 full Mozilla Jan 21 21:51:45 Apache, MySQL, PHP Jan 21 21:51:48 firebird rocks Jan 21 21:52:09 Indeed it does! Jan 21 21:52:14 gnome? kde? what's that? :) Jan 21 21:52:26 i have it on my winNT box at work, IE, grrrrrh! Jan 21 21:52:26 Hey, I was testing them out. KDE has some cool stuff. Jan 21 21:52:29 you need Fluxbox Jan 21 21:52:38 I've come to see the beauty of Fluxbox though.

Jan 21 21:53:37 vb = virus writer :) Jan 21 21:53:38 Pal - Yup :-) Jan 21 21:53:54 Yellowdog run's great on macs though! Jan 21 21:53:55 Release early. Release often. Jan 21 21:53:56 ? Jan 21 21:54:01 macs are expensive as hell too Jan 21 21:54:06 Debian works on my mac Jan 21 21:54:17 mac likes to nickle and dime you to death Jan 21 21:54:31 $99 here, $200 there ....

Jan 21 21:56:51 and gain a whole new audience. Jan 21 21:56:58 True. Jan 21 21:57:02 Oh please! Jan 21 21:57:11 I'd like to try freebsd, #30 on my list of things to do Jan 21 21:57:15 Mac goes down just as often, and just as hard as Windows. Jan 21 21:57:29 yeah it does Jan 21 21:57:37 I've used Mac OS X. I'd say it's no better than Win98. Jan 21 21:57:47 we'll.... Win98SE :) Jan 21 21:57:53 and it looks just like KDE Jan 21 21:58:02 I was checking out the new dual G5's, not expensive until you add all the extras Jan 21 21:58:04 Which is ok, because KDE rules. Jan 21 21:58:10 Maybe so but PPC archetecture is far and beyond better than i386. Jan 21 21:58:16 how? Jan 21 21:58:27 Heh, i386? I used that in um.... 1993. Jan 21 21:58:52 mac also only advertises the really expensive flat panel monitors Jan 21 21:58:57 some of use Gentoo uses compile specifically for our Athlon-XP processors :) Jan 21 21:59:01 i386 is a processor archetecture standard 386, 486, 586, 686, etc.. Jan 21 21:59:47 i love to hand out knoppix cd's at work Jan 21 21:59:51 er, that would be x86 Jan 21 22:00:05 but yeah, I see what you meant.
