[08:18]<+camerongray> hey
[08:19]<@jacky> Howdy :)
[08:31]<+camerongray> Just realised how badly I need a new server - Pentium III 800 :P
[08:31]<+camerongray> It's struggling to boot even the most basic linux distro
[08:32]<@jacky> really?
[08:32]<+camerongray> yep
[08:32]<@jacky> I thought linux would boot on most anything
[08:32]<@jacky> that's not a clunker
[08:32]<+camerongray> Well, it can do things like puppy okay but I'd like Ubuntu
[08:32]<@jacky> isn't the kernel the same though?
[08:33]<@jacky> is it all the graphics stuff, that is bogging it down?
[08:33]<+camerongray> I think so
[08:33]<@jacky> ok
[08:33]<+camerongray> But why can't an 8mb card cope? :P
[08:33]<@jacky> heh
[08:34]<+camerongray> Would like one that could run Windows Server 2008 r2 - Students can get it for free
[08:34]<@jacky> one what? vid card, or cpu ?
[08:34]<@jacky> that cpu can't run it??
[08:34]<+camerongray> video
[08:34]<@jacky> oh
[08:35]<+camerongray> Some SiS one :P
[08:35]<@jacky> whip out the credit card...
[08:35]<@jacky> heh
[08:35]<+camerongray> lol
[08:35]<+camerongray> Annoyingly I sold my old PC - Quad core, 2gb RAM .etc
[08:35]<@jacky> why?
[08:36]<+camerongray> Hadn't used the server for a long time and didn't realise how slow it was :P
[08:36]<@jacky> heh
[08:37]<@jacky> well.. maybe you still have the money from the sale
[08:37]<@jacky> and can go shopping
[08:37]<@jacky> :)
[08:37]<+camerongray> Nope - New phone :P
[08:37]<@jacky> priorities
[08:37]<@jacky> heh
[08:37]<+camerongray> Yeah
[08:37]<+camerongray> The phone has more power than the server :P
[08:37]<+camerongray> In pretty much every aspect
[08:37]<@jacky> so.. the only thing to do: call somebody, while you wait for computer to boot
[08:37]<@jacky> hehehe
[08:38]<+camerongray> lol
[08:38]<+camerongray> It could probably be a webserver as well
[08:38]<+camerongray> You seen the "Raspberry Pi"?
[08:39]<@jacky> no idea what it is
[08:39]<+camerongray> A tiny ARM based PC for $25
[08:39]<+camerongray> Could easily run a simple Linux Distro with LXDE or Android
[08:39]<@jacky> what is ARM ?
[08:40]<@jacky> what is LXDE ?
[08:40]<+camerongray> ARM is a CPU architecture, cheap and low powered, common in mobile phones and tablets but getting more powerful lately
[08:41]<+camerongray> LXDE is a basic linux window manager like gnome but uses less resources
[08:41]<@jacky> ok
[08:41]<@jacky> ok
[08:42]<+camerongray> Looks really cool though - $25 for a PC that would be perfect for light web browsing and office tasks
[08:42]<@jacky> let me direct you to a couple things: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dick_Tracy
[08:42]<@jacky> " the strip made its debut on October 4, 1931, "
[08:42]<@jacky> and
[08:42]<@jacky> " 2-Way Wrist Radio was upgraded to a 2-Way Wrist TV in 1964 "
[08:43]<@jacky>
[08:43]<@jacky> we are almost there
[08:43]<@jacky> :)
[08:43]<+camerongray> lol - Amazing how fast things progress
[08:44]<@jacky> I remember reading that comic strip, as a kid
[08:44]<@jacky> wow
[08:44]<+camerongray> yeah
[08:44]<+camerongray> http://www.zdnet.co.uk/i/z5/illo/nw/story_graphics/11dec/raspberry-pi.jpg
[08:44]<+camerongray> Size of a credit card
[08:44]<+camerongray> And that's a beta version - the production version will be even smaller
[08:45]<@jacky> that's the whole computer in the pic?
[08:45]<+camerongray> Yep!
[08:45]<@jacky> looks like various i/o ports
[08:45]<@jacky> are bigger than the computer!
[08:45]<@jacky> hehehe
[08:45]<+camerongray> Connections: HDMI, Composite Video, 2x USB, Ethernet and SD Card
[08:46]<+camerongray> Oh and 3.5mm audio and power
[08:46]<@jacky> beware... someday they will want to implant them in babies, at birth
[08:46]<+camerongray> hahaha
[08:46]<@jacky> you laugh
[08:46]<+camerongray> the bottom right port is ethernet - compare that to the rest of the system
[08:46]<@jacky> they found the 2-way wrist tv amusing too
[08:47]<+camerongray> not too far off though - we now have mobile phones with video capabilities
[08:48]<@jacky> and gps, to tell somebody else exactly where you are
[08:48]<+camerongray> yeah
[08:49]<+camerongray> The iPhone has a feature where it plots your friends on a map - I don't really like that idea :P
[08:50]<@jacky> see what I mean?
[08:50]<@jacky> heh
[08:50]<+camerongray> lol
