| 00:32.12 | pie | 'lo |
| 00:32.26 | MacLeeds | mornin' |
| 00:32.42 | pie | indeed. |
| 00:33.04 | pie | I just installed fedora on my laptop |
| 00:33.27 | pie | Ah, that's better. |
| 00:33.32 | pie | fedora is cool. |
| 00:33.48 | MacLeeds | how so? |
| 00:34.15 | pie | well, lots of nice new shiny applocations and cute graphics and eye candy and stuff. |
| 00:34.28 | MacLeeds | bah |
| 00:34.29 | pie | and some fairly useful tools. |
| 00:34.36 | MacLeeds | cool |
| 00:34.42 | pie | and I don't need to be root to get the photos off my digital camera |
| 00:34.58 | pie | and my pcmcia compact flash reader 'just-works' |
| 00:35.09 | rhowe | Plug camera in, mount /mnt/usb and access |
| 00:35.21 | rhowe | If I could be bothered installing supermount or something like that, it'd be even more automatic :) |
| 00:35.25 | pie | the file manager stuff (gnome2 really) is really sweet. |
| 00:35.53 | rhowe | pie: Yeah, I quite like Nautilus. It's a bit sluggish though |
| 00:36.04 | pie | yeah, doesn't seem t orecognise the camera as a mass storage device, but gphoto2 takes care of it with ease. |
| 00:36.33 | pie | it is a bit, but I am surprised how fast it is on my laptop (only a 4Mb gfx card). 500Mb ram though. |
| 00:37.11 | MacLeeds | should I be impressed? |
| 00:37.29 | highbury | leeds: what file system do you share all your files on? Samba/NFS or what? |
| 00:37.35 | MacLeeds | nfs |
| 00:37.41 | pie | :) |
| 00:37.59 | MacLeeds | :-) |
| 00:38.10 | highbury | but you don't use windows clients? |
| 00:38.16 | MacLeeds | nope |
| 00:38.19 | highbury | s/but/so |
| 00:38.25 | MacLeeds | no windows here |
| 00:38.57 | highbury | ahh, I was wondering about building a file server, to share stuff between Linux/Windows/(maybe Apple) |
| 00:39.04 | pie | my wife and minion at work are both very impressed with fedora. Could never get my wife to use linux before now. |

| 00:40.19 | rhowe | pie: I installed Gnome2 on Sarah's P266MMX (I think that's what it is) and then installed irssi and uim, for Chinese input. She was most pleased :) |
| 00:40.30 | rhowe | pie: It just needs a RAM upgrade now, from 32Mb to something sane |
| 00:41.35 | pie | yeah, I first tried linux (gnome) several years ago on a 32 Mb machine, was pretty awful. |
| 00:41.56 | MacLeeds | bah - I started on 8Mb |
| 00:41.59 | murble | rhowe: did you install nautilus? |
| 00:42.24 | pie | and no, emacs is *not* a gui ;) |
| 00:43.01 | rhowe | murble: Yeah, though I only run it at work |

| 00:43.19 | rhowe | murble: Even then, I don't use it much. I'm too used to firing up a terminal to do stuff. I forget nautilus is there |
| 00:43.55 | pie | I mostly do file management in the shell, but it is helpful to use the gui once in a while. |
| 00:44.13 | pie | the CD writer in nautilus is pretty cool. |
| 00:44.37 | pie | Sooooo much nicer htan xcdroast |
| 00:44.53 | rhowe | pie: Does fedora come with some fedora-specific GTK2 theme? I'm using Nuvola here and it's nice |
| 00:44.56 | murble | rhowe: do you know of any thing tha twill search for files etc? |
| 00:45.13 | pie | it has fedora specific bits |
| 00:45.13 | murble | that is gui. |
| 00:45.14 | rhowe | murble: Yeah, there's a Gnome thingy for that.. basically a GUI for find |
| 00:45.24 | pie | but it looks pretty much like bluecurve... |
| 00:46.25 | rhowe | pie: see if you can install nuvola. It's a nice, vector-based GTK2 theme |
| 00:46.49 | pie | Hmmm, OK. |
| 00:46.54 | pie | but maybe tomorrow. |
| 00:46.58 | pie | I have to go, bed time. |
| 00:47.00 | pie | later. |
| 00:47.00 | rhowe | $ apt-cache search gnome|grep find |
| 00:47.00 | rhowe | gnome-find - Graphical Version of the GNU find utility |

| 00:48.01 | rhowe | Uck, it's GTK1 |
| 00:48.15 | rhowe | That's not the tool I saw before |
| 00:49.44 | rhowe | ah, gnome-utils, contains gnome-search-tool |
| 00:50.09 | rhowe | Yes, that's the one |
| 00:50.52 | rhowe | gnome-search-tool is pretty slow though |
| 00:51.04 | rhowe | then again, I am doing it over NFS |
