| 00:00.26 | foureyes779 | i was hoping to maybe build Slack for a PPC platform but it would take months on this thing |
| 00:05.15 | denken | foureyes779: i just gave away four old macs today so they would get some use for that same reason :P |
| 00:05.32 | denken | simonrvn: i would have to agree on the 601/604 thinking ;) |
| 00:05.39 | foureyes779 | heh, i think thats why these were given too me |
| 00:06.04 | denken | foureyes779: haha :) well ido still have four more macs running debian anyway, so no big deal |
| 00:06.21 | denken | i also gave away about 3GB of RAM, two scanners, two monitors, about five keyboard/mice etc. |
| 00:06.25 | denken | totally cleaned house |
| 00:06.39 | foureyes779 | so someone had an early X-mas then |
| 00:07.03 | denken | basically yea. interestingly enough, today happened to be his birthday anyway though |
| 00:07.21 | foureyes779 | gimme his address, i'll send him a pile too |
| 00:08.06 | foureyes779 | actually, their is a kid in my apt complex that has been wanting to learn linux |
| 00:08.23 | foureyes779 | and i was thinking about donating it him |
| 00:08.40 | foureyes779 | that would also get the wife off my back |
| 00:08.44 | nusse | oh, youre all so nice guys |
| 00:09.00 | foureyes779 | only because i cant sell them |
| 00:09.03 | foureyes779 | heh |
| 00:09.10 | denken | foureyes779: ha! yea, 'she' prompted all my new found generosity as well :P |
| 00:09.23 | denken | she is right though, i had waaaay to much crap |
| 00:09.35 | foureyes779 | heh |
| 00:09.51 | denken | maybe our wives know eachother? |
| 00:09.55 | foureyes779 | heh |
| 00:09.59 | denken | hehe |
| 00:09.59 | foureyes779 | thats it...... |
| 00:11.12 | foureyes779 | i need to find one decent G4. |
| 00:11.27 | nusse | my 8600 would bring about 150 euro on ebay, youre sure? but play santa claus and donate it to this guy willing to 'learn linux' |
| 00:11.37 | foureyes779 | what would be the Mac equivalent to an XP2800 ? |
| 00:11.55 | foureyes779 | nusse: wow |
| 00:11.56 | nusse | just get a dual g5, that should be enough. |
| 00:12.06 | foureyes779 | heh, sure |
| 00:12.26 | denken | a uniprocessor G5 at 1.25ghz would probably match the XP2800 |
| 00:12.38 | denken | or be close enough to be negligable |
| 00:12.41 | foureyes779 | hmm |
| 00:12.43 | nusse | my neighbour has a g5, just for surfing and writing emails. im sure he isnt using it more than 30mins a month |
| 00:12.43 | simonrvn | easily |
| 00:12.54 | foureyes779 | damn, what a waste |
| 00:13.09 | simonrvn | nusse: yeh, i see that a lot, people that can afford them do nothing on them |
| 00:13.12 | foureyes779 | i want something i can build linux packages on |
| 00:13.13 | denken | nusse: the majority of people out there are in similar situations |
| 00:13.49 | simonrvn | ...and people that would put them to good use, are using old gear (partly by choice mind you ;) |
| 00:13.57 | denken | hehe |
| 00:14.04 | nusse | the best joke is, he asked me one day to have a look at his wlan, so i was in his house, actually, he bought it for his son, but he couldnt play any games, so he bought a second intel machine, uuaah. |
| 00:14.19 | simonrvn | ugh |
| 00:14.28 | denken | um... yea. |
| 00:14.52 | foureyes779 | i'd trade him the XP2800 for the G5 |
| 00:15.23 | nusse | foureyes779: i thought about giving him a k6, if its in a nice case, i would have good chances:) |
| 00:15.41 | foureyes779 | 256mb DDR and CD-RW, 64mb Vram. |
| 00:15.59 | foureyes779 | i run Debian on that also.....heh |
| 00:16.46 | nusse | i havent booted my athlon for 2 or 3 months, the only thing i miss is my tvcard and watching movies |
| 00:17.49 | denken | mmmm tv card |
| 00:18.08 | shadows | anyone in need of a CD burner / DVD burner? |
| 00:18.27 | simonrvn | yes |
| 00:18.32 | simonrvn | scsi? |
| 00:18.48 | nusse | youre thinking about donating one to a guy who wants to learn linux? *me* |
| 00:20.09 | foureyes779 | sure |
| 00:20.42 | foureyes779 | this machine ist much though, 120MHZ, 76mb ram |
| 00:20.58 | denken | thats certainly enough to learn on |
| 00:21.54 | foureyes779 | i dont know if i'd be doing him a favor or not |
| 00:21.57 | foureyes779 | heh |
| 00:22.00 | denken | hehe |
| 00:22.03 | denken | i know the feeling |
| 00:22.05 | shadows | simonrvn, no |
| 00:22.06 | foureyes779 | this machine is SOOOOO old |
