17:48.24pawelhi guys.
17:48.37pawelhas anyone of you guys tried ubuntu?
17:48.55wethrinnope
17:49.10pdryeah, i've been using it for about 6 months now
17:50.40pawelpdr: is it worth downloading?
17:51.17pawelpdr: I'm not a Debian fan, but like some ideas and gnome, so want to have a try.
17:51.25pdryep.  you can also get them to ship you a cd
17:51.37pdrbut it takes about 4-6 weeks
17:52.05pawelno problem, I've got rewriter and some blank CDs.
17:52.27pawelpdr: what have you been using before?
17:52.55pdri'm a debian user, but decided to try it on my work computer and i really like it and generally recommend it.  i'm still yet to install it on anything at home
17:53.08pdrbut what's not broke..
17:53.51pawelwhat's cool and what's not. what to know before I get rid of fedora. :)
17:54.14pawels/"what to"/"want to"/
17:54.17pawel:)
17:54.50pdrok, the installer is still curses-based (not sure if they have plans on making it gui-based)
17:55.14pdrit installs X and such by default, so not a good choice for a server
17:55.58pdrthe release manager (a mate of mine from sydney, jeff) is also the release manager for gnome, so the releases for each coincide
17:57.00pawelstatus:   finishing in 2:34:14 (6.1%)
17:57.07pawelso, it's comming. :)
17:57.09pdrit's basically very similar to debian, but with a lot of the annoying bugs ironed out, easier and simpler configuration, more of a "one-way-to-do-it" attitude to package choice
17:57.14pdr:-)
17:57.40pdrstuff works out of the box too, like wireless networking, acpi, etc
17:58.53pawelwill try tomorrow then on my personal laptop.

18:04.27pawelLeeds: hi.
18:04.46pdrpawel: i'd be interested in how it goes
18:04.53pdrLeeds: heya

18:23.04SpudULikeLeeds:Have you made vcd's with DVD::Rip?
18:25.49SpudULikeI ask because I am struggling to configure DVD::Rip to burn vcd's, even though it will burn mpegs.
18:26.05Leedsnever used dvd::rip in my life
18:26.23Leedsand vcd is mpeg :-)
18:27.06SpudULikeAnd there was me thinking you were going to talk about dvd::rip last Saturday. What do you use?
18:27.15Leedsmencoder, mainly
18:27.27Leedstranscode also does well...
18:28.15SpudULikedvd::rip give me options to burn mpeg or vcd, so I thought they were different.
18:28.52Leedsokay, mpeg1 is the format used on vcd - but it's very specific settings
18:29.03SpudULikeAh, no, avi's. I can burn avi's but nothing else. Why might this be?
18:30.52Leedsno idea...
18:32.53SpudULikeDo you ever burn vcd's?
19:13.41Georgeedward: yes, yes I do
19:17.24edwardgood good
19:17.38edwardwhat you running, I'm running debian
19:20.57LeedsSpudULike: nope
