| __________________________________________ [Oct 28,2005 12:54pm - DreamingInExile ""] once my build is done I'll go install apt-get. this is basically a beta web-dev box, so it's gonna be stripped down to almost nothing. we're testing a new online classroom platform, and I'm busy writing PERL scripts and shell scripts to quickly import the XML and install a new class. |

I use ubuntu breezy (final version was released like a week ago) linux, and it comes with synaptic and apt-get, making updates and installing new progs so easy. With synaptic it takes about 30 seconds to turn your box into a webserver with apache, php and mysql. ubuntu is my first attempt at using linux, and i'm suprised apt-get/synaptic don't come with other versions of linux. |

| ______________________________________ [Oct 28,2005 3:38pm - the_reverend ""] there's a version for osx too.. I just never used it. only thing for osx I use is macpdate. |
| ____________________________________ [Oct 29,2005 6:42pm - anonymous ""] I used to use yum with fedora and other distros, but lately its been ubuntu breezy with apt-get. Still havn't got around to trying gentoo/emerge yet. |
| ______________________________________ [Oct 29,2005 7:37pm - the_reverend ""] I tried yum on fc2 and it didn't work. at work I use debian based knoppix so apt-get is were its at. though... I broke apt on RTTP... oopies. |

| ________________________________________ [Nov 4,2005 3:38pm - DreamingInExile ""] so? your point is? just because we're all metal heads here, dosen't mean that we can't be geeks. In fact, I don't know many dumb metalheads... the dumb ones are the angsty pre-pube teens that listen to nu-metal and think their lives are awful |

| _______________________________ [Nov 4,2005 3:40pm - Beakey ""] Was that like a really long way of explaining that you ARE watching Star Wars right now? |
| _______________________________ [Nov 4,2005 3:41pm - Beakey ""] Goddammit... You see what happens when you post twice in a row? You steal people's punchlines, that's what you do! |
| ____________________________________ [Nov 4,2005 3:41pm - KeithMutiny ""] thats the way i took it |
| _______________________________ [Nov 4,2005 3:41pm - Beakey ""] Wait... I just posted twice in a row. Well... Three times, including this. |
