[11:18]<Tux2> Hi BC_Programming
[11:21]<Tux2> Afternoon Mulreay
[11:21]<+Mulreay> hey Tux2
[11:22]<Tux2> I'm installing linux from source... my CPU is burning up@
[11:22]<Tux2> !*
[11:22]<+Mulreay> heh
[11:23]<Tux2> lol, yeah, I don't think I'm your average user as far as average CPU usage.
[11:24]<+Mulreay> heh, indeed
[11:28]<Tux2> I'm just hoping the speed optimizations the custom compilation does really helps the speed of the os....
[11:29]<@jacky> Tux2: a whole install? or just recompiling the kernel?
[11:30]<Tux2> A whole gentoo install
[11:30]<@jacky> ah
[11:30]<@jacky> how long is it going to take? ... estimated
[11:30]<@jacky> just curious
[11:30]<Tux2> 6 hours?
[11:30]<@jacky> wow!
[11:30]<Tux2> I have to compile all the packages I want to install
[11:30]<@jacky> and I doubt you are using a wimpy cpu to compile it
[11:30]<Tux2> lol! Just my laptop's processor...
[11:31]<Tux2> AMD 2.2GHz dual core
[11:31]<@jacky> what's the procedure? I mean.. .you have to have something installed first, to run the compiler on... right?
[11:31]<@jacky> ok on 2.2 GHz
[11:31]<Tux2> correct, I do the first part off of a live cd
[11:31]<@jacky> what is the "first part" ?
[11:32]<@jacky> Mulreay: Hello
[11:32]<Tux2> partitioning, installing the boot loader, installing the compiler and internet connectivity, plus compiling the kernel
[11:32]<@jacky> ah
[11:32]<@jacky> sounds like next you boot to that kernel
[11:32]<@jacky> right?
[11:33]<Tux2> Yup, then you continue the install from the optimized compiler you installed
[11:33]<@jacky> cool
[11:33]<@jacky> how long to compile just the kernel?
[11:33]<Tux2> It took me around 10-15 minutes with all the modules
[11:33]<@jacky> cool
[11:34]<@jacky> and... is it really all that slow? or are you just experimenting to see if you can even make it faster?
[11:34]<+Mulreay> hi jacky
[11:34]<@jacky> Mulreay: :)
[11:35]<Tux2> Well, it depends on how big the package is... it has to take all the source files and compile them into machine code optimized for my specific CPU
[11:35]<@jacky> no.. sorry
[11:35]<@jacky> earlier you said you hoped to help the speed of the os
[11:35]<Tux2> oh, that... linux is fast, I just want to see if I can make it faster
[11:35]<@jacky> cool
[11:35]<@jacky> all very interesting stuff...
[11:36]<Tux2> :) I've tried gentoo once before but could never quite figure it all out...
[11:36]<Tux2> It was also on a slow cpu as well though...
[11:36]<@jacky> it has been a long time since I did any reading.... is gentoo the one that users must compile from source?
[11:36]<Tux2> yes
[11:36]<@jacky> is there another one?
[11:36]<@jacky> trying to remember names.....
[11:37]<Tux2> Um, not that I know of, unless you do it all yourself
[11:37]<@jacky> linux from scratch
[11:37]<@jacky> heh
[11:37]<@jacky> anyway.. tnx for answers... it is all very interesting stuff
[11:37]<Tux2> no problem
[11:38]<Tux2> hopefully it all works!
[11:38]<@jacky> Tux2: I think Mulready should do linux. Don't you? :)
[11:38]<@jacky> Mulreay*
[11:38]<+Mulreay> I have ubuntu on as a dual boot
[11:38]<Tux2> :)
[11:38]<@jacky> :)
[11:53]<@jacky> 
[11:53]<@jacky> be back later
[11:54]<@jacky> Tux2: luck on you
[11:54]<@jacky> :)

[11:55]<Tux2> WOO HOO!!! I have a GUI!
[12:03]<+Mulreay> heh cool, like a pointer?
[12:03]<Tux2> lol, yeah.
[12:04]<+Mulreay> sweet :)
[12:04]<Tux2> It was all text based before, then I finally got a basic gui. :D
[12:04]<+Mulreay> nice work
[12:05]<+Mulreay> I'm cleaning out at the moment... too much crap installed I don't use
[12:05]<Tux2> Ah...
[12:06]<+Mulreay> already cleared 18.4Gb
[12:06]<Tux2> nice!

[14:57]<+Mulreay> well not for bad either
[15:28]<+Mulreay> BC_Programming, Craig you here? I'm bored

[16:48]<@BC_Programming> hi*
[16:49]<+Mulreay> Hey bud
[16:50]<+Mulreay> Yeah I said bud

[22:44]<Tux2> Wow, well, that was an adventure...
[22:44]<@BC_Programming> what happened?
[22:44]<Tux2> I installed gentoo linux
[22:44]<@BC_Programming> cool
[22:44]<@BC_Programming> I guess
[22:44]<Tux2> took around 12 total hours to get to a working desktop...
[22:44]<Tux2> lol! I compiled linux all the way from the kernel...
[22:44]<Tux2> to the desktop
[22:45]<@BC_Programming> neat
[22:45]<Tux2> lol, yeah, my computer almost burned up in the process too. ;)
[22:52]<Tux2> It was so hot I could have fried eggs on it!

[23:33]<Tux2> ooohhh yeah! I now have wireless!
[23:41]<Tux2> just loaded flash... time to check it out on a MLP video
[23:46]<@BC_Programming> lol
[23:47]<Tux2> Yeah, I can see why you enjoy them.
[23:48]<@BC_Programming> :P
[23:48]<Tux2> It took me 3 nights to watch them all. ;)
[23:49]<@BC_Programming> when I started watching them there were only like 5 episodes
[23:50]<Tux2> lol. Pinkie Pie reminds me sooo much of someone I know...
[23:50]<@BC_Programming> heh
[23:51]<@BC_Programming> garry's mod makes for the strangest scenes
[23:52]<@BC_Programming> like running over some minecraft Steves that have machine guns with a star trek shuttle, than throwing ponies through a stargate
[23:54]<Tux2> lol...
[23:55]<@BC_Programming> and killing a bunch of Captain Picards by throwing Samus at them. Through a stargate of course
[23:56]<@BC_Programming> the stargate addon is just so bloody well implemented
