Well work the few seconds to compile. Jul 07 21:22:37 or you can get it from slackpackages (if you're running Slack) Jul 07 21:23:08 I mean http://linuxpackages.net Jul 07 21:23:23 <-- Scott has quit (Remote closed the connection) Jul 07 21:23:30 --> Scott (~scott@tnt04-591.phlpa.fast.net) has joined #techshow Jul 07 21:24:18 there are so many audio apps on linux now Jul 07 21:24:33 I haven't had a chance to try them all Jul 07 21:25:33 this site is good for slack users: Jul 07 21:25:37 http://www.audioslack.com/packages.html Jul 07 21:25:47 Hot-babe (funny CPU meter): http://dindinx.net/hotbabe/ Jul 07 21:26:13 keep compiling! Jul 07 21:26:43 I got it going as well Jul 07 21:27:25 It's the geek equivalent of those mud-guards with the outline of a chick on it Jul 07 21:29:22 That would best describe it! Jul 07 21:30:48 I need to get more into these audio apps, I just don't have enough time! Jul 07 21:31:07 Hopefully when I take a week off in the near future I'll play with them Jul 07 21:31:34 Linc, do you have your top hat on? Jul 07 21:39:57 download the alpha version of hot linc: Jul 07 21:40:16 http://www.thelinuxlink.net/~dann/hot-linc-0.0.1.tar.gz Jul 07 21:40:24 the toy I would really like is an Ipod-mini Jul 07 21:41:39 mrs.rjbs has one. Jul 07 21:41:54 very cool but a little pricy Jul 07 21:42:36 worth the price, imo Jul 07 21:42:43 * rjbs loves his iPod. Jul 07 21:42:52 it's ipodalicious Jul 07 21:42:57 my sister has one, very cool Jul 07 21:43:09 * rjbs ordered the speakerdock from Altec-L today Jul 07 21:43:20 <-- brian has quit (g'bye) Jul 07 21:44:52 dans compiling to get the full effect of hot-babe Jul 07 21:45:04 hot-babe?

Jul 07 21:53:25 I'm settin up my skype account Jul 07 21:53:33 hot-linc alpha release 2 now available: http://www.thelinuxlink.net/~dann/hot-linc-0.0.2.tar.gz Jul 07 21:53:40 this one is the hottest of the hot. Jul 07 21:54:20 skype looks cool Jul 07 21:55:33 <-- linuxman2 has quit (Leaving) Jul 07 21:55:44 I just can't bring myself to let swaret\slapt-get to upgrade to a whole new release of slack. Jul 07 21:55:46 <-- USSROVER (~not@207.108.36.118) has left #techshow Jul 07 21:55:56 swaret works pretty well, I went from 9.1 to current Jul 07 21:56:13 just remember to omit lilo, kernel and maybe kde/gnome Jul 07 21:56:24 --> linuxman2 (~uki677@adsl-68-127-121-45.dsl.frsn02.pacbell.net) has joined #techshow Jul 07 21:56:38 I'm downloading the 10 iso now though. On dialup. Jul 07 21:56:58 make sure to add linuxpackages.net to your repository list Jul 07 21:57:21 I've had some 9.1 systems running for quite a while here. Jul 07 21:58:18 I've never had a problem with swaret, some people have claimed that it's hosed their system Jul 07 21:58:40 emerge hosed my gentoo install 1.5 years ago Jul 07 21:58:42 ouch, over dialup. Jul 07 21:59:01 by the time you get that dl'd we could have a copy for you at the next lug meeting. Jul 07 21:59:03 :) Jul 07 21:59:12 Tuesday, July 13, 2004. Shameless plug Jul 07 21:59:21 I might have to go back to Gentoo if I get an AMD64 system Jul 07 21:59:30 Yea, it's fairly slow. I just let it run while I sleep. I got ~120MB done in a day. So I'll just keep going at it. Jul 07 21:59:30 No Slack for AMD64 :( Jul 07 22:00:04 I don't install KDE, gnome or whatever so I should only need the first cd. Jul 07 22:02:20 Gentoo probably rocks on a 4gig quad processor Jul 07 22:02:44 Oh yea, I'd say so. Jul 07 22:03:49 I'm considering a dual opteron system vs a G5 Jul 07 22:04:05 somebody has money to burn Jul 07 22:04:52 not really Jul 07 22:04:54 It could certainly cut down on the compile times. Jul 07 22:05:08 after I get my year end bonus Jul 07 22:05:16 <-- graeme64 has quit (Leaving) Jul 07 22:05:31 I've convinced my wife that I need a faster system to do video editing :) Jul 07 22:06:35 thanks ricardo, keep up the good work. Jul 07 22:07:13 <-- linuxman2 has quit (Leaving) Jul 07 22:07:20 Eh? :) Jul 07 22:07:21 good nite Jul 07 22:07:29 <-- Patrick has quit (Leaving) Jul 07 22:07:43 the quality for slug episode 4 is horrible, Dann. Jul 07 22:07:56 uh oh Jul 07 22:08:24 Thanks for Listening Jul 07 22:08:27 I'll see if I can finagle it. Jul 07 22:08:38 gnight everyone!
